Formby Dunes Fire Contained | Manchester News

Despite recent community cleanup efforts focused on responsible outdoor behavior, the fire raged for hours under tough conditions. Thankfully, the main flames are now contained, with crews still on-site to prevent re-ignition — aided by backup from a neighboring service.
