He said the efforts from firefighters have been incredible, with members of the public and farmers working selflessly alongside them:
"So I'd just like to particularly acknowledge the patience and the corporation of the public and the local communities who have been really affected by this fire. Our firefighters have been doing an incredible job and grateful for all their work and commitment of this incident over the last couple of weeks now.
"A wider thank you again to the farmers and landowners in the area as well, who have committed a lot of time and effort and energy in, into supporting our fire colleagues there as well."
Work continued at the Langdale Moor site on Saturday:
Mayor Skaith has this message for anyone coming to North Yorkshire or anyone driving in the area:

So please do take notice of those and also understanding that the county is still open and we obviously still welcome people to, in and around York and North Yorkshire.
