Crews from across the county and West Midlands Fire Service have been called to Million wood off Chester Road.

The cause of the blaze is being investigated, the Staffordshire service said.

Early on Sunday the Staffordshire service said "a large area" had been dampened down and extinguished, but five appliances remained there at lunchtime.
