Fire crews urge people to stay away from Marsden Moor as two wildfires break out
10 crews are on scene in the Deer Hill and Five Mile Post areas
West Yorkshire fire crews are urging people to stay away from Marsden Moor after two wildfires broke out earlier.
10 crews are on scene in the Deer Hill and Five Mile Post areas after flames were reported at around 1:30pm this afternoon.
It comes on one of the warmest days of the year so far and almost exactly a month since West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue were called to their first moorland fire of the year, also on Marsden Moor.
Across the border in Greater Manchester crews are dealing with a separate blaze on Saddleworth Moor near Greenfield.
