Remains of a fire (5)

I believe the answer is:

ashes

(Other definitions for ashes that I've seen before include "Remains from a cremation" , "sporting trophy" , "Remains of anything burnt" , "Eng./Aus. cricket trophy" , "Former Wimbledon champion's" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald, The Sun, The Guardian, the Family Time, The Telegraph and The Mirror.
