VIDEO: Firefighters from Ashfield and Eastwood assist with wildfire that has been burning four four weeks

Firefighters from Ashfield and Eastwood Fire Stations are currently assisting at the moorland fire in Tintwistle, where they are supporting High Volume Pump (HVP) operations.

The blaze on Tintwistle Moor in Glossop, Derbyshire, started on June 24 and has affected around 642 acres of moorland and woodland.

A ‘major incident’ was declared on July 12 after Derbyshire Fire and Rescue Service said firefighters were facing "challenging conditions".

The incident has brought together fire and rescue services from across the UK in a coordinated multi-county response.

The High Volume Pump provides a continuous supply of water over long distances, enabling firefighting operations to continue across the challenging moorland terrain.

A spokesman from Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service said: “We are proud of our crews who are working alongside colleagues from across the country to support this significant incident. We wish everyone involved a safe deployment and thank all emergency service personnel and partner agencies for their continued professionalism and dedication.”

Derbyshire Fire Service confirmed 65 firefighters remained at the scene with 15 people from Derby Mountain Rescue Team and 10 from United Utilities.

Firefighters are urging people not to fly drones above the blaze as they continue to tackle the blaze.

The A628 remains closed in both directions between Hollingworth and Flouch to allow emergency services to access the site.
