Home News Gallery Videos 29 June 2018 Cumbria’s firefighters help fight moorland blaze in Lancashire Firefighters from Cumbria have been helping to tackle a huge moorland fire overnight in neighbouring Lancashire as part of an emergency response. In the early hours of Friday (29 June), fire appliances from Ulverston, Arnside and Staveley, as well as the Grange Wildfire Unit were deployed to support firefighting on Winter Hill, on the outskirts of Chorley, Lancashire. A total of 18 firefighters from Cumbria were involved in the firefighting operation. Crews from Ulverston, Arnside and Staveley joined colleagues from Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service to protect vital communications masts and ensure the fire did not spread to this important infrastructure. They had a watching brief, extinguishing small hotspots with knapsacks. Grange Wildfire Unit provided support to Lancashire fire crews on Winter Hill, using beaters and knapsacks to fight the blaze and prevent flames spreading to nearby forestry. The request for Cumbria Fire and Rescue Service (CFRS) involvement came late last night from Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service due to the severity of the fire.
