An amazing video showing a very large stack of Elephant Grass alight in a field in North Shropshire very close to two adjoining properties that were being protected from the intense heat by Shropshire Fire and Rescue Service

  • It's an impossible fast to extinguish 200,000 tons of Elephant grass. The technique is to let it burn in a controlled manor while protecting surrounding properties. Elephant Grass is used as a clean burning bio fuel in power stations so it is relatively safe to allow it to burn off.
