Appeal to residents as crews tackle fire

Crews are tackling a fire on open land in Heath Hayes this morning (Wednesday 19 February).

We received a call just before 10am and went to the scene, off Cannock Road, where we found two separate piles of rubbish and tyres well alight.

Two appliances and our water carrier are onsite and we are working to extinguish the flames.

We are urging nearby residents to keep all windows and doors closed and to avoid the area where possible.
