Firefighters are continuing to tackle a large moorland fire near the reservoir after the blaze broke out on Saturday evening.
There are around 70 firefighters, 11 fire engines, and four wildfire units continuing to make progress across the area, Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service said. Strong winds carried smoke across parts of the region.
Officers are continuing to pursue a number of lines of enquiry and are seeking to identify any other individuals who may have been involved, the force added.
Detective Inspector Andrew Day said: "While we have secured charges against one individual, our investigation remains ongoing. Detectives are carefully reviewing all available evidence to identify anyone else who may have been involved in criminality linked to this incident.
"We're committed to pursuing all those responsible.
"I would also like to thank the public for the support they have shown so far and encourage anyone with information or footage that may assist our enquiries to come forward."
