LANGDALE MOOR FIRE: Community support event to be held at Whitby Pavilion
Those affected by the Langdale and Fylingdales area wildfire have been invited to a community support event at Whitby Pavilion on Monday, October 20.
The Langdale Moor Fire remains an active incident and fire crews continue to carry out regular checks of the moorland and forestry.
There are still some localised areas with heat in the ground which continue to smoulder, however flare-ups (visible flames) have considerably reduced over the last few weeks.
Anyone who spots a flare-up, should call 999 and ask for the fire service.
The fire investigation team is continuing to investigate the cause, and will report on the outcome in due course.
Assessments of the damage caused to the natural and historic environment continue.
Public Rights of Way and Open Access to Fylingdales Moor are still closed.
The vast majority of the North York Moors National Park can be enjoyed safely, with businesses open as usual.
Organisations involved in the fire recovery work will be there to help provide information and advice. READ MORE: Tractor run to take place on Saturday, October 18 to thank firefighters and farmers
