Tintwistle Moor Fire Under Control | Manchester News
Description
Wildfire on Tintwistle Moor is finally showing signs of control after weeks of intense firefighting amid dry conditions. Fire crews have made major progress, with smoke clearing over Greater Manchester, though specialists remain on standby to monitor for hotspots. The blaze, which scorched 606 hectares—roughly nine hundred football pitches—has been fueled by peat fires, and drone footage revealed its devastating scale. Meanwhile, the A628 Woodhead Pass, closed for nearly two weeks, has reopened with temporary traffic lights in place.
