Summary
A wildfire at Dovestone rages into its second day, choking Greater Manchester in thick smoke and forcing evacuations as crews battle flames fueled by fireworks—just days after a tragic drowning. Witnesses say loud bangs preceded the blaze, with videos showing fireworks near the reservoir. Officials warn of dangerous air quality, especially for those with respiratory issues, and urge caution with open flames amid dry conditions. Helicopters are dropping water as firefighters work to contain the fire, which threatens wildlife and memorial trees, while smoke drifts further south with the wind.
