Firefighters have now left the scene of the significant wildfire on Tintwistle Moor in Derbyshire, after more than a week of firefighting operations.

The fire, which broke out on 24th June above Woodhead Road in Glossop, affected approximately 200 hectares (494 acres) of moorland.

Derbyshire Fire and Rescue Service has confirmed that firefighting crews have now stood down, with responsibility for the site handed over to on-site teams who will continue to monitor the area and damp down any remaining hotspots.

The Pennine Way between Crowden and Black Hill reopened to the public on Thursday.

DFRS said firefighters had faced "extremely challenging conditions" since crews were called to the scene.

In an update on Thursday, Derbyshire Fire and Rescue Service said: "Final fire crews left the scene at 12:00 hours and handed over to United Utilities and the wider Peak District Fire Operations Group.

"They will continue to damp down hotspots within the area of Arnfield Moor and the Didsbury Intake.

"While the risk to the public is low, we strongly advise people stay away from these areas to allow our partner agencies to carry out their work safely and effectively, and to help prevent any further fires."

With high temperatures and the potential for a heatwave forecast in parts of the UK over the coming days, Derbyshire Fire and Rescue Service is urging anyone visiting the countryside to take extra care. Dry conditions significantly increase the risk of wildfires, and members of the public are encouraged to act responsibly by avoiding activities that could accidentally start a fire.

The Service has thanked local communities and visitors for their continued cooperation and support throughout the incident.
