Firefighters are battling with a blaze on the moors above Tameside and Saddleworth.

Crews were first called to the land in Stalybridge last night (Sunday 24th June 2018).

The fire reignited 07:50 this morning (Monday 25th) so they've now been recalled there.

They're expecting to be there for the rest of the day.

People who live between Dovestones and the Carrbrook area are being advised to keep their windows and doors shut until the smoke has cleared.
