Winter Hill fire: Crews continue to battle blaze
Firefighters took to Lancashire moorland at first light to continue to battle a wildfire that has been raging for five days.
Seventeen fire engines remained at the scene on Winter Hill near Bolton overnight from Sunday into Monday.
Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service (LFRS) said "full firefighting operations" resumed at first light on Monday with 22 engines.
LFRS said people were spotting lighting fires nearby by a helicopter.
Two engines were sent to a wooded area at Healey Nab at 13:30 BST on Sunday, and the fire was contained within about two hours.
Up to 100 firefighters from across England are tackling the blaze on Winter Hill, which started on 28 June, in "testing conditions".
A major incident was declared when winds caused two fires to merge near communication masts on Saturday.
The flames have spread close to Grade II-listed Rivington Terraced Gardens, which received £3.4m of lottery funding two years ago for improvements.
The Winter Hill blaze, near a major TV transmitter, is smouldering in pockets across a three sq mile (8 sq km) area.
It is feared the moorland blaze may burn for another week.
A 22-year-old man, from Bolton, was arrested on 29 June on suspicion of arson with intent to endanger life.
He has been released under investigation.
Lancashire Police said it was continuing to investigate the cause of the fire.
The fire comes as crews from across the country, along with the Army, combat a blaze 30 miles away at Saddleworth Moor in Greater Manchester, which started a week ago.
Along with the Winter Hill fire, it has covered the region in smoke and ash.

The wind has changed direction from Sunday and has sent smoke billowing down the valley toward Horwich.
On one side of the hill you can see clear blue skies but on the other there is a white and yellow plume of smoke.
Two giant tankers - the kind that farmers usually use - are transporting water up Winter Hill.
The plan today is try and beat down the fires, but as soon as the firefighters put out a fire on one part of the hill, another one breaks out.
People in nearby areas have been asked to keep doors and windows closed.
Police have also repeated their advice for people to stay away after a man collapsed from smoke inhalation when he ignored police cordon tape.
They have also warned people against trying to fly drones over moorland in efforts to record footage.
Paul Etches, head of prevention at Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service (GMFRS), warned the moorland fires were "not going away" and it would take "many more days of intense sweat and effort" to extinguish them.
"Our firefighters are tired but optimistic that we continue to make good progress," he said.
Dave Keelan, Assistant Chief Fire Officer with GMFRS, said the service had the challenge of two major incidents as firefighters are still dealing with moorland fires in Tameside.
"I cannot praise my firefighters enough, they have done a fantastic job," he said.
Mr Keelan also thanked the firefighters from other parts of England and Wales who have been on duty.
"We have been very, very fortunate. Without the support of other fire services it would not have been business as usual."
