This evening saw Darwen Moor once again in flames, this time in the shadow of Jubilee Tower.

The team were not required to assist Lancashire Fire and Rescue service, unlike a fortnight ago (see incidents 43/2016 and 44/2016), however it is a timely reminder that the moors are particularly dry at the moment, anyone using the moors please take care when discarding anything which could cause an ignition of the dry tinder.
