Please can you help us? If you have a drone, please DO NOT fly it over Winter Hill. There are helicopters flying in the area to extinguish the fire and the drones are putting firefighters and pilot’s lives at risk.

Today some of the team have been working with knottend&morecambecg to provide logistics support to Lancashire Fire & Rescue Service with the Argocat from knottend whilst they continue their fight against the Winter Hill fire. The Argocat is normally used during mud rescue but is excellent on all terrains

We were dismayed to find a discarded disposable barbecue on #WinterHill. This reckless act could have easily started another large fire close to the existing fires on Winter Hill
