Wildfire at Dovestone Linked to Fireworks | Manchester News

A massive wildfire at Dovestone Reservoir is still raging, fueled by dry ground and thick smoke spreading across the region. Authorities suspect careless fireworks sparked the blaze after loud bangs were heard and video emerged showing fireworks in the area. A 20-year-old woman has been arrested on suspicion of arson. Fire crews, battling steep cliffs and scorching heat, are working around the clock with helicopters to contain the fire — a major incident declared Monday — as they brace for days more of intense firefighting with no rain in sight.
