Major incident still in place as Tintwistle Moor fire continues

A major incident declared as firefighters tackled a large-scale moorland wildfire remains in place.

The response was put in place on Monday, three weeks after the fire started on Tintwistle Moor in Glossop, Derbyshire.

The blaze has affected about 260 hectares (642 acres) of moorland and woodland and firefighters are now damping down hotspots across Didsbury Intake, Crowden and Arnfield Moor.

Crews are being supported by specialist fire and rescue vehicles, a helicopter, and a team from South Wales which is helping to create firebreaks and remove vegetation to prevent further fire spread.

The helicopter is now carrying out water drops across both the Tintwistle Moor wildfire and a separate wildfire incident at Dovestone Reservoir and Swineshaw Moor in Greater Manchester.
