At 10 pm on Saturday 10 June, firefighters from Ashfield Fire Station responded to another fire in the open.
Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service said:
‘The fire was in woodland between the A38 and Sutton Lawn, and a large campfire was extinguished.

‘Do you know what your children are doing when they are out?
‘Please do speak to them about setting fires in woodlands.
‘It really can put a strain on resources meaning appliances could take longer to respond to a more serious incident. An incident you may be involved in.’
