Moorland fire on Winter Hill in Bolton July 2018
Neighbouring fire and rescue services from the north west of England are once again joining forces to help prevent wildfires in their areas.
The reminder about staying safe while enjoying time outdoors and about the devastation moorland fires cause comes from Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service (GMFRS) and Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service (LFRS) as schools break up and the Easter bank holiday weekend approaches.
Both fire and rescue services, and the people of Greater Manchester and Lancashire, remember all too well the destruction caused by moorland fires in the summer of 2018, when large blazes ripped across miles of countryside bringing the areas to a standstill.
