MAKE PUMPS 10
LONGRIDGE FELL
31 MAY 2020

This was another incident caused by carelessness.  It was a very difficult fire to fight, partly because of the remote location, and partly because much of the fire was in plantations.  It went on for a few days.

Whilst these pictures show a lot of smoke, it was difficult to portray the size of this incident.
