Firefighters have tackled a large grass fire in Stoke-on-Trent.

We were called at 7pm on Monday (18 August) to Parkhall Country Park, Hulme Road, following reports of a fire.

Four appliances including our water carrier attended the scene and used extended hose reel jets and back packs to tackle a grass fire measuring approximately 30 by 30 metres.

Thankfully, nobody was reported injured.

An investigation into the cause of the fire will take place in due course.
