But bosses at the waste disposal unit have confirmed the excessive steam was caused by a burst pipe in their boiler.
A spokesperson for the fire service said: "The calls started coming in at around 2.13pm from members of the public reporting smoke coming from the windows.
"We assigned a pump from Hanley and from Longton but we spoke to the incinerator owners and they told us we weren't required as there was a problem with the boiler."
