Looked like a biggie - possibly over Briercliffe way, although difficult to tell with all the drifting smoke.
Can't find anything on the news.
Anyone else see this or have any info?
We were "rehydrating" at the Sportsmans Arms on the Long Causeway at lunchtime, when the fire engines came looking for it. They turned up the bridleway towards Four Gates End. We watched it spread from a very safe distance (ie other side of Colden Water)
Apparently there was also a fire in that area a couple of weeks ago
Hmmn, deliberate burning getting out of hand?
Have you ever encountered the, er, 'characterful' individual who lives in the derelict farm with the fine collection of rotting machinery down Noah Dale way?
He's a proper charmer that one.
the whole valley was in smoke when I went over this eve nesting season as well which wont help
Perhaps Burnley people were burning 'non-locals'?
😉
No Wicker Man spotted - it's possible that the discovery of fire has reached Burnley, but no confirmed reports as yet.
