Fire crews are tackling a huge blaze on moorland above Ilkley covering more than 50 acres.

Smoke was seen rising from Ilkley Moor at around 3pm on Saturday afternoon, not far from the Cow and Calf, with plenty of people taking to social media to post pictures and express their concern. Another fire was also spotted near Dick Hudsons Pub, Bingley.

A total of 14 crews from across Yorkshire rushed to the scene to try and extinguish the fires as the scorching Easter temperatures caused problems on the famous moorland. LeedsLive understands that some local residents were offered alternative accommodation, although this was not compulsory for anyone in the area.

West Yorkshire Fire & Rescue Service maintained a strong presence of around 70 firefighters throughout Easter Sunday as police confirmed they had arrested three men aged 19, 23 and 24 in connection with the incident.
