A fire which covered a large part of a nature reserve was started deliberately, investigators believe.

Crews were called to Red Moss Nature Reserve, near to Anderton Lane, at around 12.49pm this afternoon, April 23.

Six fire engines from Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service (GMFRS) rushed to the site in Horwich, Bolton, where firefighters spent several hours working to put the fire out.
