Fire officials expressed frustration after observing visitors engaging in hazardous activities near the ongoing emergency zones during the weekend.
"This weekend, we have already seen people visiting the area and lighting BBQs.
People must stay away from affected moorland areas and must not light BBQs, campfires or any other open flames," stated the Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service.
Authorities have urged nearby residents to remain indoors with their windows and doors closed to avoid the heavy smog spreading across the region.
"Firefighters and partner agencies are expected to remain at the scene of the Tintwistle Moor wildfire into next week.
They continue to work tirelessly to contain the fire and prevent it from spreading further," stated the Derbyshire Fire and Rescue Service.
Emergency operations are currently focused on four key areas: Didsbury Intake, Featherbed Moss, Arnfield Moor, and Crowden.

"Our efforts are currently focused on four key areas: Didsbury Intake, Featherbed Moss, Arnfield Moor and Crowden.
The A628 Woodhead Pass remains closed so responders and vehicles can get to and from the scene safely," stated the Derbyshire Fire and Rescue Service.
Responders plan to remain at the affected moorlands into next week to fully damp down the remaining hotspots.
"Two helicopters are dropping water on both the Tintwistle Moor wildfire and a separate wildfire across the border in Greater Manchester at Dovestone Reservoir and Swineshaw Moor.
Derbyshire Fire & Rescue Service and Greater Manchester Fire & Rescue Service continue to lead their own operations while working closely together and sharing specialist resources," stated the Derbyshire Fire and Rescue Service.
