If you're curious as to why the
#WinterHillFire is so intense and taking so long to fight, take a look at this vid. Deep rooted fire.@BacupFire and a vast array of multi agency support are giving it all we have. If you're thinking of setting another fire, think again. Please.pic.twitter.com/T4iVPqHhJv -

Tonight I saw a family with young children having a bbq on the
#WestPennineMoors past a no bbq sign. Taken off by firemen. I challenged after 5 young lads taking 4 disposable bbqs towards moors and made them turn back. Please, no repeat of last summer#Winterhillfire pic.twitter.com/7QBEh5VTk7

The fire service may get a lot of stick from the boys and girls in blue, but when things like
#Grenfell and#WinterHillFire happen, they put outstanding work in (not that they don’t at any other time). Thank you to our boys and girls in red

Lancashire Police have now also issued a warning to the public to stay away from Winter Hill as the moorland fires continue to burn. One man had to be rescued after ignoring the advice and collapsing near the Pike Tower.
