I’ve seen both, not from a great distance though, – Saddleworth Moor 17miles to the east and Winter Hill 17 miles to the north west.

Tuesday evening was the worst, surrounded with smoke so bad it grabbed hold of your throat, went to close the windows and noticed all the sills were covered in ash.

Not been as bad since the troops were brought in.

God bless all those working out there day and night.
