Thanks for the link MaizieD - it covers the fire on Saddleworth moor. I'm a few miles away, close the the fire raging on Winter Hill, Rivington Pike, Horrocks Moor and still spreading it seems. I read a newspaper report yesterday, that referred to Rivington as being in Chorley. Still, we're in the northern poor house, who'd expect any reported to actually understand which town is closest to the fire - it's Bolton and it's surrounding villages\
We can see the smoke wherever we are in the area it seems. Yesterday, the Fire Service and Mountain Rescue asked people to donate water, energy drinks, energy bars and sandwiches. We heard this and within half an hour were meeting up with other people, delivering those things to our local fire station.
It's grim and so sad.
