If you’ve been evacuated or you’re a part of the effort to contain the blaze and smoke we’d like to hear from you

Hundreds of firefighters struggled to contain existing moorland fires across Greater Manchester, after a new woodland blaze started in Lancashire. Youths were seen running from a fire at Healey Nab, by Anglezarke reservoir near Chorley, according to Dave Russel, assistant chief fire officer at Lancashire fire and rescue.

On Sunday roads were closed all around Winter Hill, on the border between Bolton, Greater Manchester, and Lancashire, after two moorland fires merged. Thirty-four homes were evacuated and two schools closed last week as firefighters continue to contain a 6km-long blaze on Saddleworth Moor in Greater Manchester.
