Fire crews have been called to a blaze in Nottingham on Saturday evening.

About 20 firefighters were called to Abbotsford Drive in St Ann's at about 19:30 BST.

Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service confirmed it was attending a blaze with four fire engines on the scene but could give no further details as it was an ongoing case.

A plume of smoke could be seen rising up into the sky over the city and with "reports of heavy smoke", people were urged to keep their windows and doors closed by the brigade.
