Ten fire crews at scene of huge blaze on Marsden Moor
About 50 firefighters are tackling a huge moorland blaze near Huddersfield.
West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service has advised nearby residents to keep their doors and windows closed and warned people to stay away from the area. Craig Best, countryside manager for the National Trust, said: "It's so frustrating to see yet another fire on our moors after all the hard work our team have put in to try and restore the landscape after last time.
Barbecues and fires are banned on the moors all year round to protect the landscape, with anyone breaching the ban liable to face a fine of up to £2,000.
