Firefighters were called to tackle a blaze involving a lorry on a new build estate in Nottinghamshire.

Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service said four fire engines were initially sent to Red Lane in Worksop at 17:00 BST on Thursday.

Further crews were called to the scene after the blaze spread to multiple outbuildings and a number of trees.

At about 19:45, group manager Leigh Holmes said the fire was under control but added crews had "a considerable amount of damping down to do".

He said: "We expect to be scaling down the incident in a couple of hours and will provide further updates as appropriate."
