Three fire engines were called to the home of Sheffield United yesterday over an accidental fire involving a fridge.

Rumours went wild yesterday afternoon (August 19) after a video was shared online showing three fire engines outside Bramall Lane stadium.

Fans reacted with concern - as well as no small amount of ribbing - over the incident and the potential danger posed to the historic football ground.
