Smoke still blankets Greater Manchester as day three of the moors fire rages, with crews battling flames since Saturday and roads closed. A 20-year-old woman has been arrested over suspected arson, following viral footage of fireworks igniting dry grass — the same fireworks that sparked a tragic memorial at Dovestone Reservoir just days prior. Firefighters face treacherous terrain, and officials warn the blaze could last days. Health risks loom as smoke drifts south; authorities urge residents to stay indoors and avoid spreading unverified info.

A massive wildfire at Dovestone Reservoir is still raging, fueled by dry ground and thick smoke spreading across the region. Authorities suspect careless fireworks sparked the blaze after loud bangs were heard and video emerged showing fireworks in the area. A 20-year-old woman has been arrested on suspicion of arson. Fire crews, battling steep cliffs and scorching heat, are working around the clock with helicopters to contain the fire — a major incident declared Monday — as they brace for days more of intense firefighting with no rain in sight.

A massive fire erupted outside a furniture store in Royton, Greater Manchester, when an advertising lorry caught flames on Saturday, July 11th, sending thick smoke skyward and forcing a full road closure. Fire crews battled the blaze for two hours, evacuating nearby homes and clearing bystanders as videos of the chaos spread online. Thankfully, no one was injured. The lorry’s front was completely destroyed, and even a parked van suffered heat damage. The store will be closed for a few days. Authorities are treating it as an accident, with five fire engines and an aerial appliance responding. The Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service is investigating, but foul play is not suspected.

A man accused of murdering his wife after she demanded a divorce is fighting for his life in court, admitting to the stabbing but claiming he didn’t intend to kill her—instead, he says he was mentally unwell. The couple, married in an arranged union in 2005, had a volatile relationship, with the prosecution painting him as abusive and controlling, while his defense counters that she was violent toward him. The night before the killing, she told him she wanted a divorce; the next morning, prosecutors say he attacked her in the kitchen with a knife, leaving 40 stab wounds. She escaped to a neighbor’s home, but he allegedly followed and continued the assault. The trial, expected to last three weeks, hinges on whether his mental state absolves him of murder or reduces the charge to manslaughter.

A couple got slapped with a £176 fine for crossing Warburton Toll Bridge five months ago — after missing an online payment deadline that wasn’t properly communicated. The bridge switched to an automated system in December, requiring drivers to pay £1 online the day after crossing, or face mounting fines. The couple claims they never received the notice — even though they’d set up postal redirection after moving — and now face a debt collector demanding nearly £200. The toll company blames Royal Mail for delivery issues, while Royal Mail demands more info. The couple feels bullied, and they’re not alone — other drivers are reporting similar late, high fines with little warning.
