Sheffield lies next to the Peak District, a national park covering large areas of moorland, hills and farmland across northern England. Both places contain open green spaces where dry vegetation can catch fire and flames may travel quickly, particularly in warm, windy conditions.
Fires in countryside areas can damage habitats used by birds and other wildlife, while smoke can affect nearby communities and transport routes. Emergency crews may need to work across difficult ground and protect homes, farms, roads and public access routes close to the affected area.
