Grass fire causes extra damage after spreading to fence

Firefighters were called to Foljambe Drive, Dalton, at 1.10am, and upon arrival they found some pampas grass had caught light, with the fire spreading to a nearby fence and causing damage to the windows of a property.

This was dealt with by 1.42am and is thought to have started accidentally.

Fire crews from Dearne were called to Crofton Drive, Bolton-upon-Dearne, at 9.44pm where they found a pile of rubbish and aluminium window frames well alight.

This was dealt with by 10.30pm and is thought to have been started deliberately.
