Village's two deliberate fires in 30 minutes

Firefighters from Dearne were called to Victoria Street shortly after 12.50am.

On arrival, they found a wheelie bin blaze was starting to spread to the ivy on a nearby boundary wall.

The fire was out by 1.15am — two minutes before they were called to a large amount of commercial and domestic rubbish which had been set alight at Main Street.

The rubbish appeared to have been fly-tipped, South Yorkshire Fire & Rescue said, and the crew left shortly before 2am.

There was also a deliberate rubbish blaze at an allotment at Highfield Park, Maltby, at 9.14pm yesterday.
