A spokeswoman from South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue said the fire had spread to a nearby fence and conifers.

Firefighters left the scene at 1.30am.

The last fire in the borough overnight was another rubbish fire, which also included torched wooden crates that happened on Brecks Lane, Herringthorpe at 4.50am - with firefighters leaving the area just after 5am.

The spokeswoman added that all four fires were believed to have been started deliberately.
