Big Tyre Fire in “Gabyland”

There is a big fire at a tyre depot in Warsop (where Maddy Bell's Gaby comes from).

Fire crews from across Nottinghamshire were called to deal with a blaze involving around 400,000 tyres at a site near Mansfield on Friday night.

Part of the town of Warsop was closed off as flames engulfed the tyres at the Warsop Tyre company on Oakfield Lane.

Thick acrid smoke was seen for several miles and people living nearby were told to keep doors and windows closed.
