The teams from Halifax, Todmorden and Keighley stations plus a specialist wildfire unit were scrambled to the moorland near Gaddings Dam, between Todmorden and Walsden, at 6.33pm.
Firefighters said a large area of moorland was on fire and they used a specialist wildfire vehicle – the Argo Cat – as well as beaters to put out the flames.
Anyone who sees a fire in progress should call 999.
