Description:

A West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service spokesperson said: “We are still in attendance at a wildfire on Marsden Moor which was contained overnight and now measures approximately 200m by 150m. Today firefighters will be damping down hot spots. Crews currently in attendance are Huddersfield, Shipley, Dewsbury and Huslet with wildfire support from Slaithwaite. We will be at the incident for the rest of the day and are asking members of the public to stay away from the site, which is at Binn Lane, near Butterley Reservoir. Firefighters are using beaters, blowers, hose reels and water relay to extinguish the fire.”
