Headline: Firefighters tackle the blaze on Yorkshire's Marsden Moor

Caption: These photos captured by firefighters at Skelmanthorpe Fire Station show the severity of the blaze on Yorkshire's Marsden Moor which happened on one of the hottest days of the year so far (22April19). The National Trust has stated that the fire was "most likely" caused by a discarded barbecue, started on Sunday evening at Easter Gate on Marsden Moor. The area near Huddersfield is important for rare nesting birds and for mountain hares. Fire crews and a helicopter remain at the scene in an attempt to dampen down. It was the sixth fire to have broken out there this year, and the most significant of recent years, the trust said.
