Burning leaves may have led to emergency services being called to a false alarm reports of a 'plane crash' in East Leake.
Upon arrival three fire crews and a police helicopter were unable to find any trace of such incident despite a "thorough search".
Residents took to social media and messaged Nottinghamshire Live after a large amount of fire engines descended on Gotham Road, near the British Gypsum service centre, shortly after 8pm on October 15.
They had reported hearing of a "plane crash".
The National Police Air Service (NPAS) also dispatched a helicopter to assist with the search for any signs of a downed light aircraft.
A spokesman for Nottinghamshire Police said: "We were called to a potential light aircraft crash at 8.15pm, but after a thorough search there was no evidence of an accident or any suspicious activity."
The force said the call was not a hoax and in fact a genuine report of a downed light aircraft.
It is thought a property owner burning leaves may have led to concerns from local residents.
Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service also confirmed the incident was a "false alarm".
A spokeswoman added: "There was a suspected plane crash. We got the call and we sent three crews from East Leake, West Bridgford and Highfields.
"It was a false alarm."
