Mansfield residents have expressed their shock and gratitude to firefighters after a huge blaze broke out next to their homes. The large fire broke out around 4pm on Saturday, March 21 at the Savana rags site on Forest Road.
Due to the scale of the fire dozens of homes had to be evacuated, and the power was also cut. When families were able to return home on Sunday, March 22, they were thankful to find everything still in one piece, with just a layer of dust and some pieces of debris in their gardens and the roads.
Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue services have stated that specialist contractors will be knocking on doors on roads that were affected by the fire. These contractors will be clearing any fire debris that may have landed onto people's homes or in gardens, and people should not touch the fire debris and leave it for the contractors to clear.
