Smouldering remains of a fire (6)

I believe the answer is:

embers

(Other definitions for embers that I've seen before include "Small pieces of glowing wood or coal" , "Glowing fire remnants" , "Ashes" , "Remains of coal fire" , "Vestiges of fire" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
