This large tyre fire sent plumes of black, acrid smoke high into the Upper Cumberworth air last night.

Pumps from Skelmanthorpe, Holmfirth, Meltham and Penistone were despatched to tackle the fire in a field at Haddingley Lane at 6.24pm.

West Yorkshire Fire Service said as well as tyres an amount of rubbish was involved in the fire which covered an area 20 metres by 20 metres.

A water shuttle and one large jet were used to extinguish the blaze which is not thought to have been started deliberately.
