Firefighters are deploying two high-volume pumps to Sykehouse in Doncaster in a bid to aid the removal of surface water which is currently lying on flood plains in the area. 

River levels in the area are falling and existing drainage pumping arrangements are working well.

Nottinghamshire Fire & Rescue

However, South Yorkshire Fire & Rescue has deployed the pumps-one of which is being sent by Nottinghamshire Fire & Rescue-to support the speedy removal of the water and to help reassure communities living nearby.

The fire service has been working with Doncaster Council and the Environment Agency on the deployment says it expects to be in the area for around 48 hours.
