The fire service has reminded people to avoid burning waste at home after the fire in Shareshill.
The public is being warned about the dangers of burning waste at home after fire crews tackled a blaze on a field.
Crews from Staffordshire Fire and Rescue Service were called to the fire on Swan Lane in Shareshill on Sunday and worked to extinguish the blaze and dampen down afterwards.
Station Manager Danielle Coleman attended the scene and reiterated the need to be careful in the current dry weather.
She said: “This incident was caused by a bonfire which had become out of control.
“With the recent warm, dry weather, the smallest spark can ignite and spread so we are urging people not to burn waste at home.”
