Winter Hill Fire Lancashire UK

I do my best to try to follow wildfires in other parts of the world. I came across a video from the United Kingdom recently, thanks to my friends at the B10 NJ Wildland Fire Page. The video shows footage of a wildfire known as the Winter Hill Moorland in Lancashire County England. I understand that Lancashire is in eastern England
