The barbecue which caused the fire in May 2023 was eventually found at an area popular with tourists known as Oxstones.
Taking part in Monday’s exercise, Tom Robjohns, watch manager at Lowedges green watch, said despite disposable barbecues being banned from the Peak District, people using them would always be a risk.
“People don’t seem to understand they are damaging the beautiful Peak District and our local wildlife,” Mr Robjohns said.
As part of the training exercise, firefighters met with members of other expert groups familiar with the local countryside who could provide vital intelligence about local wildlife and the landscape which could help when dealing with wildfires.
