Latest update from Derbyshire Fire & Rescue Service
Please continue to avoid the area so that emergency services can work safely.Wildfire at Tintwistle Moor - #UPDATE 13:00 hours Monday 20 July
Our response to the Tintwistle Moor wildfire is continuing as firefighters and partner agencies work tirelessly to contain the fire, deal with hotspots and prevent any further spread.
At present, we have 65 firefighters deployed on scene alongside 15 personnel from mountain rescue teams and 10 from United Utilities who are continuing to work in challenging conditions.
Today, our main areas of focus are in the Crowden and Arnfield areas where there have been flareups overnight and four helicopters are supporting in the overall response, carrying out water drops.
As we head into the school holidays and firefighting operations continue, we are asking members of the public to support the response by avoiding affected moorland areas and complying with all restrictions and road closures.
The A628 remains closed in both directions between Hollingworth and Flouch to allow emergency responders and partner agencies safe access.
We are also reminding people not to fly drones in areas affected by the Tintwistle Moor wildfire or the separate wildfire at Dovestone Reservoir and Swineshaw Moor. Airspace restrictions remain in place over both incidents to enable aerial firefighting operations to continue safely and effectively. Flying a drone in either area could disrupt these operations and place crews at risk.
Smoke may still be visible in some areas and can travel significant distances depending on weather conditions and wind direction. Please continue to follow public health advice and take appropriate precautions.
We would like to thank local communities for their continued patience, support and cooperation.

🎆 Fireworks can bring people together for celebrations, but they should be used responsibly.
Over the years, many residents across High Peak have raised concerns with me about the impact of fireworks on pets, young children, veterans and others who can find loud, unexpected explosions distressing.
That's why I welcome the Government's 12-week consultation reviewing fireworks legislation. It’s an opportunity to strike the right balance between protecting cherished celebrations and tackling anti-social and irresponsible use.
When this issue was debated in Parliament, I was proud to highlight a campaign led by my constituent Robert Branch, whose petition helped bring greater attention to the issue. As a fellow dog owner, I know just how important this is for many families across High Peak. 🐶
I’d encourage everyone with a view to take part in the consultation and help shape future rules around fireworks.
