Hills Ablaze Above Manchester as U.K. Wildfire Rages for 4th Day

Quote:

LONDON — A wildfire raged for a fourth day through dry grassland to the east of Manchester in the north of England on Wednesday, as Britain sweated through one of its hottest and driest summers on record.

The blaze started on Sunday on Saddleworth Moor, an expanse of hills cloaked in purple heather that is popular with hikers and home to bird species including the endangered golden plover and curlew and the common red grouse. It has since spread over an area of seven square miles, and firefighters have requested help from the military.

A dry land.Free from moisture or liquid.

If Bolton burns down there will be a revolution. :03:

Just to add I have no spare water I'm on a water meter. Jim may have a few water lorries loaded with gallons of water.
