Fire spreads to back garden fence after rubbish set alight
A garden fence caught fire near homes after a pile of rubbish was set alight.
The blaze took place at a property off Langley Gardens, in Tettenhall.
A pile of domestic waste had been set a light but the flames got out of hand and spread to a garden fence.
Fire crews were called to the scene at 1.11pm on Wednesday where firefighters used two water hoses to dose the flames.
Two crews, made up of firefighters from Tettenhall and Wolverhampton, were sent to the scene.
Pictures from the scene showed firefighters tackling the blaze, with smoke and steam pouring into the air.
Crew commander Paul Ratcliffe said: "The fire was in a back garden and it spread to a fence."
A spokesman for West Midlands Fire Service said: "It was a large quantity of rubbish which was on fire. Two hose reel jets were in use."
