Major incident declared as wildfire advances through unexploded ordnance zone near RAF Fylingdales, North Yorkshire

"A wildfire burning on Langdale Moor near RAF Fylingdales, North Yorkshire, England, has been declared a major incident after spreading across approximately 5 km2 (1.93 mi2) of moorland since igniting at around 18:30 LT. The declaration was triggered by the fire’s rapid growth, the presence of unexploded ordnance, and the scale of inter-agency response required.
The blaze is burning on a former military training range known to contain unexploded ordnance UXO. Several explosions have already been reported, forcing firefighters to pull back and work from safer distances. Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) teams are on site to guide operations and reduce risks." W
