Smoke was seen for miles around on Sunday evening after a blaze broke out in a woodland near Dovestone Reservoir. As the region basked in soaring temperatures, crews were called out to another fire at the site on (July 10).
Numerous fire engines rushed to the site, to find a fire had started close to an area of dry woodland at Yeoman Hey Reservoir, near Greenfield. Clouds of smoke were pictured from miles away, and could be seen billowing over the hills late into the evening.
The cause of the blaze has not yet been confirmed by the fire service - but they have today urged people to avoid lighting barbeques or fires on moorland as crowds flock to enjoy the sun.
