With 10 fire engines at Tintwistle Moor on Monday afternoon, crews are doing what they can to stop the wildfire getting any bigger.
Stanbrook said: “The wind is ever-changing, so there’s no let-up from some of the fire spread.
“We’re cutting away and putting two firebreaks into the west to make sure it doesn’t spread any more overnight and we’re doing the same to the east just so it doesn’t get to the Pennine Way.
“We’ve had reports of some of the fire fronts spreading at about 10 metres a minute.”
He added they had a resourcing plan up to Sunday, but would see how things went on a “day-to-day basis”.
“Hopefully the weather will be kind, the wind will be kind and we can get on top of it,” Stanbrook added.
