The densely packed flat blocks in the Batemoor area meant crews from Crews from Birley, Aston and Lowedges were all dispatched to the scene to battle the fire before it could get out of hand.

South Yorkshire Fire & Rescue has confirmed no one was hurt in the incident and the fire was extinguished by 11.10pm. It is believed the fire was started accidentally.

The blaze also caused Stagecoach Yorkshire to divert its No.1 bus service during the incident.
