Rivington Moor fire, Winter hill 28/06/2018

[@terratec1001]

So this is what the fire looks like! BBC North West Today/Tonight have practically zero video to show of it apart from Dave Guest standing in front of some distant smoke.

I live on a farm on the hill and a fireman came to my house and said to my mum to lock the windows and doors and all I can smell is smoke

[@nathanjarrett728]

Brooklyn Rose I live in Horwich and I can smell it from here

Very cool vid it nice to see that view of what’s going on mate 👍

[@philipmeldrum1151]

Up on Darwen moor this morning it was clear the extent of the damage even from 3 miles away. One of my favourite walking areas - pray for rain.

Wow amazing video a like from me - I hope it’s put out soon but the dry weather is set to continue

[@dencarthy]

Wow, I aint been up there for about 55 years (London now). Excellent footage from many angles & a great understanding of film making, what make & model of drone did you use Lordy?

[@LordyLordy426]

[@memoonaatcha3507]

I can see this from Bolton 😨

[@humansrants1694]

Would be good with some chilled out music. It's a larger area brunt than I was expecting, I could see the fire from my window in Chorley.

What model of drone is that? I took some photos of the fire Thursday at around 6:30pm and spotted what i thought was a UFO 😆 Your camera perhaps?

[@LordyLordy426]

JmeJ83 No, I was there around 9pm with a mavic pro. Quite a few people took drones there I found

[@J_M_E_83]

Lordy Lord I don't think it was a drone what i captured, it looks big. It's mainly over Blackrod and Haigh i think. Thanks for the reply

[@jsa2001]

Careful you don't get prosecuted for flying over 400feet in what would be class D airspace and around were they're is active traffic with helicopters for a major incident.

[@keirab-s8t]

Just saying it's spreading over the hill rn.

[@siouxcatwoman6752]
