Fire crews attend moorland fire in the High Peak – amid reports of ‘smoke plume’
Residents are urged to keep windows and doors closed following reports of a moorland fire.
Six fire crews from Derbyshire and West Yorkshire are currently tackling the blaze at a moorland in the area of Holme Moss in the High Peak.
This comes after Derbyshire Fire and Rescue Service received a ‘high number’ of calls regarding a ‘smoke plume’ earlier today (Thursday, March 6).
In an appeal to local residents, a spokesperson for Derbyshire Fire and Rescue Service said: “Please keep your doors and windows closed if you are effected and avoid the area.”
