Fire crews were called to a domestic fire in Kirkby.
Crews from Kirkby’s Ashfield Fire Station were called to reports of a house fire on Marlborough Road.
A Nottinghamshire Fire & Rescue Service spokesman said the fire was contained to the roof space of an outbuilding.
He said: “Crews used high-pressure hose reels, thermal imaging cameras, forcible entry tools and a positive pressure ventilator to tackle and extinguish the fire.
