Bush fires leave behind strange baked in light

[Jader]

Has anyone else had this issue where strange ambient light lingers after grass/bush fires burn down everything? The don't seem to go away and are very noticeable at night. 

Sometimes destroying the blocks around the area removes the light, but otherwise a lot of pockets of my map are covered in these weird lights. Any advice?

Fire tends to do that. My pit kiln area was perpetually illuminated for a while there. I often find light patches in the wild where, I assume, lightning struck at some point. You can fix them by placing a light source on them and removing it.
