North Yorkshire's Fire Chief says the Langdale Moor Fire operation has now moved into the recovery phase.
Jonathan Dyson says many of the support agencies have now been stood down, but says North Yorkshire Fire fighters will remain on the moor for a while longer:
"Over 30 strategic leaders agreed that the dynamic phase of the incident from a multi-agent response can be stood down. All organizations apart from fire will now stand down their major incident status and they will transition into recovery and to business As usual, the recovery will be led by the local resilience forum, and the recovery group will be chaired by North Yorkshire Council.
"This will include infrastructure cells, which will help deal with the roadways and the recovery from, uh, transport the environment. Economic recovery and also health as continuous health monitoring will continue for some time."
The investigation into the cause of the Langdale Moor fire is getting underway as much of the fire fighting response is stood down.
Mr Dyson says that investigation could take some time:
"We will still have North York Farm Rescue Service staff at the Langdale incident. We will still have a number of appliances through the day and at night monitoring and controlling that perimeter. But we can start to now come to recovery in our own service. We have the absolute confidence. We have done everything we can to resolve this incident in the fastest possible time, and our attention now turns to recovery and investigation.
"We have now stood up a fire investigation cell, we're undertake a detailed investigation of what they believe. If possible because of the firewalls. Now, this will take them time because they have to interview a large number of people and obviously review a large number of data sets and also a large area that have been on fire."
