"For safety reasons", all crews will be withdrawn and firefighting will resume at 04.30 hours Friday morning.

An area of moorland, north of Arnfield Flats and south of Windgate Edge is still burning.

It's just one of a number of moorland fires burning close to one another on the far northwestern edge of the Peak District, near Tintwistle, Derbyshire.

Derbyshire firefighters at the scene have come from Glossop, Buxton, Clay Cross, Wirksworth and Bakewell stations and have been joined today by a Nottinghamshire crew from Stapleford.

About 100 troops from Catterick, North Yorkshire, are helping too.

The blaze is under control but could flare up at any time, Greater Manchester fire service has said.
