Per a LFRS tweet, the number of fire engines at the scene was increased as of first thing this morning. "At first light this morning, the number of fire engines at the scene increased to 22 from 17 overnight," reads the tweet.
The fire service tweeted footage taken from the top of Winter Hill early this morning, where crews were "beating down hot spots."

One local fire station tweeted that it had "lost count of how many hours" they had spent "up on the hills and the moors." They thanked locals for their support that has spurred them on, "be it a kind word shouted from a passing car or donated refreshments."
