Police also attended the incident and are believed to be investigating what happened to cause the blaze.

South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue has been urging people to report anything they know about deliberate fire-setting via their FireStoppers service – which was launched last year

Much like its sister, Crimestoppers, all reports that go into FireStoppers are totally anonymous. Residents simply need to call 0800 169 5558 or visit firestoppersreport.co.uk.
