Firefighters have tackled an early morning blaze in the Potteries. Crews from three stations were sent to reports of a 'fire in the open' in Sneyd Green.

And firefighters are expected to visit the site again this morning to check for any 'hot spots'. The alarm had been raised just before 2.20am with crews sent to the land off Leek New Road.

A spokesperson told StokeonTrentLive: "We were called at 2.19am and attended a fire in the open involving some waste. It took place off Leek New Road in Sneyd Green.

"The fire was extinguished and they are due to return again this morning."

We are awaiting details of the exact location of the blaze.
