Firefighting efforts continue for two major moorland fires in Greater Manchester and Derbyshire. At Dovestone near Greenfield in Oldham, crews have been tackling a blaze that began about a week ago, with the incident described as one of two major events declared by authorities. At Tintwistle Moor near Glossop, firefighting is more prolonged, with reports that operations have been under way for around three weeks. Multiple outlets say the response is expected to extend beyond the immediate term, with the BBC reporting that work at Tintwistle is likely to run into next week. The situation remains active rather than contained, and communities near the fires are subject to warnings related to smoke. One report notes a smoke warning issued for two Derbyshire villages, reflecting ongoing concerns about air quality and visibility for nearby residents. While crews continue to fight both incidents, the overall timeframe for full resolution is not confirmed across coverage, and the fires are described as continuing to burn at present.
