Summary
A massive moor fire erupted at Dovestone Reservoir just one day after the tragic death of 18-year-old Karl Holland, sparking an emotional and urgent response. Firefighters battled flames fueled by dry conditions, with witnesses pointing to fireworks set off near the reservoir as a possible cause — possibly linked to a gathering honoring Karl. Smoke forced evacuations and warnings to stay away, while crews deployed drones, helicopters, and specialized units to contain the blaze. Authorities are urging the public to avoid open flames and fireworks, warning that even small sparks can ignite devastating fires in the tinder-dry landscape. The car park remains closed, and crews are expected to stay on scene through Sunday as they work to bring the fire under control.
