Grass Fire at Perry Common Meadows | Birmingham News

A major grass fire erupted at Perry Common Meadows Thursday evening, burning 2,000 square meters before firefighters arrived—thanks to bone-dry conditions. Crews from Aston, Sutton Coldfield, and Erdington raced to the scene within four minutes, deploying off-road vehicles and high-pressure hoses to contain the blaze in just 90 minutes. Thermal cameras ensured no hidden hotspots remained as crews worked until 8 PM. Public cooperation made the response smoother, but officials warn: even a tiny spark can ignite a wildfire in dry weather. Stay vigilant—your caution could prevent the next disaster.
