Campfire sparked moorland blaze in Peak District

Derbyshire Fire and Rescue Service (DFRS) urged people to "act responsibility" in the countryside

A fire service has issued a warning following another moorland fire in Derbyshire.

Derbyshire Fire and Rescue Service (DFRS) urged people to "act responsibly" in the countryside after firefighters put out another blaze in the county.

Glossop Fire Station confirmed that crews attended a deep-seated fire in peat on Thursday at Holme Moss, which was started by a campfire, according to the station.

This comes as DFRS said that firefighters had left the scene of the moorland fire near Errwood Reservoir in the Goyt Valley on Tuesday, which burnt an area bigger than 300 football pitches.

In a post on social media DFRS reminded people not to have campfires or barbecues in the area.

DFRS said moorland fires were "labour intensive" and take "vital services" away from being able to respond to other emergencies.

A spokesperson for the service said: "It's a message we keep repeating, but it doesn't seem to be getting through to some people."

Glossop Fire Station said since the end of February, crews from the station had attended 24 wildfires and urged people not to start fires, as it is "very dry" and "easy" for them to spread.

The fire service said the area had been "devastated" by the blaze in the Goyt Valley

The last crews left the scene of the moorland fire near Errwood Reservoir at about 08:15 BST on Tuesday and handed over to landowners United Utilities, which the fire service said "are managing a few remaining hot spots".

Firefighters were first called to the blaze in the Goyt Valley on 30 April with crews from Cheshire and Staffordshire also deployed to help Derbyshire-based teams, with the local service describing the operation as "a week of tough firefighting".
