Today between 10.00hrs and 13.00hrs Fire crews from GMFRS Horwich, Farnworth, Bolton Central and Bolton North Fire Stations were engaged on an exercise on the moorlands north of Bolton, in determining water source points, that could be utilised in the event (Actually a common occurrence) of a Wild Fire (Moorland Fire)
