💥 WARNING DISTRESSING IMAGES💥

Now the hotspots have been damped down, and the rain helping us with it. Our team have been out surveying the area of the wildfire 🔥

In amongst the burnt heather patches and charred grass areas, our team have found dead adders, amphibians, a badger skeleton and antlers.

The fire burnt for that long and got that hot, it fractured the fallow antler and nearly turned it to dust!

We would like to thank the rangers from Shrugbrough Hall National Trust, Staffordshire Wildlife Trust and Staffordshire Fire and Rescue for assisting, preventing the spread and ultimately stopping the fire! Thank you!

Also a masisve thank you to our Cannock Chase Ranger team and site staff. Who all worked very hard, day and night to asist the fire crews, and helps stop it from spreading 🚒🛻
