A crew from Adwick Station were originally called to a grassland fire at Skellow Road in Carcroft at 1.40pm yesterday afternoon.
The fire escalated quickly spreading to nearby gardens. Eventually nine fire engines attended the grassland/wildfire.
The Highways Agency had to close many roads.
A fire service spokesman said this morning: “We came away around 11pm last night, however we have been out a few times since to keep checking on it and making sure it doesn’t reignite.”
As yet, the cause of the fire is unknown.
