The alarm was raised around 6am this morning, Saturday, March 9.

Fire engines from Thorne attended the scene with another from Doncaster to act as a back up pump.

Prison officers managed to get the prisoner out of the cell before emergency services arrived.

The fire was out upon arrival and no injuries were reported, a spokesperson said.

Checks were made to ensure there was no further danger before crews left at 6:30am.
