The alarm was raised in a 999 call by a passing member of the public at 3.50am in Church Road, Lye.

One crew from Stourbridge Fire Station attended and firefighters used one hose reel jet to dose the flames.

A West Midlands Fire Service spokesman tweeted: "The incident involved a large refuse fire.

"We received a 999 call from a passer-by at 3.50am."

Firefighters remained on the scene for around two hours, before returning later this morning to check for hotspots.
