Nottinghamshire neighbours see 'huge flames up to 40ft high' as fire takes hold at old nursing home

Residents on a "usually quiet" residential street in Worksop have spoken of their shock after being awoken by a "dramatic" fire in the early hours of the morning. Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service was called to the blaze, in a derelict nursing home on Sherwood Road, at around 4.30am on Sunday (February 19).

Crews described the incident as a "large building fire". Six fire engines were in attendance, along with a water bowser and aerial ladder platform (ALP).

There are no reports of any injuries. The cause of the blaze is yet to be established.
