Bradford Council is looking to bring in a Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO), which bans barbeques, fires, Chinese lanterns, fireworks and other dangerous items from moorland in the district.
The move comes in the aftermath of recent wildfires on Ilkley Moor and at Marsden Moor in Kirklees.
The council said, “Wildfires pose a considerable cost in terms of resources deployed by West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service (WYFRS), the Council, West Yorkshire Police and other agencies, not to mention the environmental damage and risk to property.”
Following a fire on Ilkley Moor over the weekend a woman has been arrested and since bailed.
