Firefighters are warning people to be careful about what they put in their wheely bins after hot ash caught light in one in Upton Road, Slough last night.
The bin caught fire at about 6.15pm - spreading to a fence and a car that were both damaged.
The ash had been left over from a bonfire and firefighters were on the scene for 45 minutes.
