Posting on Twitter, SYFR said that residents should not be alarmed if they see lots of fire engines in the area.

However, they have issued appeals after a blaze at a stable block in Doncaster was destroyed by an arson attack.

And they have also issued this warning about candles after a woman was taking to a hospital when a bedroom fire broke out in her Rotherham home.
