Massive Fire Rages In England

Description

London (CNN)A fire raging in northern England has prompted the evacuation of dozens of homes and forced firefighters to work in "tremendously difficult conditions". The fire is sweeping across the Saddleworth Moor, a hilly area that rises up to 1,312 feet northeast of Manchester. The blaze has already destroyed 2,000 acres of moorland, according to a Facebook post by the Greater Manchester Police's Saddleworth Division. We've got lots of experience with dealing with moor fires but this particular incident is vast," said Leon Parker, the assistant chief fire officer for the Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service (GMFRS).
