Firefighters are on the scene
Sheffield firefighters are tackling yet another blaze - this time on the Arbourthorne estate.
The grassland fire is currently raging on Arbourthorne Road.
Five fire engines are at the scene, as crews work.
South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue has advised residents to keep doors and windows closed, to avoid the smoke in the air.
An ‘avoid the area warning’ has also been issued.
A fire service spokesperson said: “We currently have five fire engines at a grassland fire on Arbourthorne Road, Sheffield.
“Please keep doors and windows closed if you live nearby.
“Also, avoid the area if possible to allow our crews to work.”
With a predicted amber heat warning on Thursday, residents are advised to dispose of rubbish and avoid barbecues.
A South Yorkshire Fire service added said: “With temperatures set to climb again in the next few days, help us by reporting people starting fires to Firestoppers on 0800 169 5558. This is anonymous.
“Leave the BBQ at home - they aren't allowed in most open spaces anyway.
“Do not have garden bonfires. The conditions are totally unsuitable and they threaten lives and property.
“Take all rubbish with you and dispose of cigarettes carefully whilst in the countryside.”
