Firefighters are dealing with another blaze on moorland near Greater Manchester this evening. Crews were sent out to Marsden Moor at 7.23pm tonight (May 30).
Visible smoke can be seen billowing from the West Yorkshire moor, which is just over the border from Saddleworth. A smell of smoke is also being carried from the scene across Oldham this evening.
It's believed to be the eighth fire to take place on Marsden Moor so far this year. West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service (WYFRS) confirmed it had been called out to the moor for the seventh time in 2023 last week.
