We currently have a fire ban in place because of this and hardly any rain since February. We are still allowing our own BBQs and log burners to be used and have additional safety measures in place. Disposable BBQs are banned on site. We ask all our customers to take extra precautions when visiting us and the area. Thank you.
We remain at the scene of the moor fire at Langdale and are likely to be there for some time to come.
Crews continue to carry out hotspotting and are working to contain the fire spread from the perimeter due to the presence of unexploded ordnance on the site. We continue to be supported by partners, farmers and contractors and again thank them for all their help.
Fire investigation work has started but no cause has been established at this time.
We continue to ask people to avoid the area, but the rest of the National Park remains open. There is still an extreme fire risk so if you're visiting please follow the wildfire prevention advice- don't have BBQ/campfires, take glass bottles and jars home and don't throw ci******es or matches on the ground or out of car windows
