This incident began around 1300 and was attended by appliances from Greater Manchester Fire & Rescue Service with one additional appliance from West Yorkshire. Being high on the Pennines meant that the smoke was visible for many miles. All the pictures below were taken over 3 hours into the incident. I have included pictures of all the appliances that attended, with the exception of the Hose Laying Lorry from Philips Park. I have been unable to identify the two Hydraulic Platforms although these were believed to have been from Oldham and Manchester Central.
Apologies for the quality of some of the appliance pictures. Unfortunately, most of them were taken into direct sunlight.
