Overview

• North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue says the blaze has been held within its current boundary after more than two weeks of burning, with crews continuing to tackle hotspots.
• Twelve crews worked overnight and teams are digging fire breaks to reinforce containment, supported by farmers, contractors, volunteers and neighboring fire services.
• National resources are deployed under a multi-agency operation, and the council says government funding has been approved to sustain the response.
• Road closures remain in place, including the A171 between Cloughton and Hawsker, with additional local routes shut to protect the public and aid operations.
• Separate to the moor incident, crews extinguished several small deliberate fires in York, Harrogate and Church Fenton, and a bin fire that spread in Boroughbridge.
