By Deborah Bowyer 4th Aug 2022

Firefighters from Congleton were called to put out a grass fire near Sandbach during the recent spell of hot weather.

One fire engine used a hose reel jet and beaters to put out the blaze in Love Lane, Betchton yesterday (Wednesday).

The incident happened at 12.26 pm and involved a grass fire measuring 50 metres by 10 metres.

The Congleton crew travelled 5.4 miles to attend the incident.
