Moorland Firefighters Ask For More Help
The army, airforce and firecrews are still battling flames on Saddleworth Moor
Firefighters battling the Saddleworth Moor fires have asked for 3 more days of help, to try and put the blaze out.
Greater Manchester fire crews have asked the government if the air force and army can remain with them as the 6 mile radius area remains alight after almost a week.
Attempts by the combined crews has seen the total area reduced to 6 miles rather than 7 of burning moorland but officials say a change in weather conditions could see the fire continuing for weeks, rather than days.
