A moorland fire which broke out last night is being treated as possible arson.
The large fire on Crompton Moor is now out.
Greater Manchester Fire service reported that crew and a wildfire unit returned to the scene this morning and found that part of the fire had extinguished overnight.
They then used specialist wildfire fighting equipment to put out the rest of the flames.
Fire crews were called to the scene around 8.20 last night.
The fire was around one mile from the nearest property and posed no risk said GMFRS.
