Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service has declared a major incident and remains at the scene, where firefighters are continuing to work alongside partner agencies to contain the Dovestone wildfires and prevent further spread.
According to their recent post on Facebook, the fire service said: "Due to weather conditions, smoke from the fire may be noticeable in parts of Greater Manchester and beyond.
"If smoke is affecting your area, or there is visible smoke nearby, stay indoors where possible and keep windows and doors closed to reduce smoke entering your home.
"During the hot weather, people can help keep cool by drawing curtains to block direct sunlight, using fans to circulate air and keeping hydrated. Once smoke has moved away, consider opening windows and doors to ventilate and cool your home, while continuing to monitor conditions and follow any updated public advice.
"We are also asking people to avoid the Dovestone area to allow emergency services to work safely and allow for access routes to be clear."
