🔥 A dramatic scene unfolded at Glen Beach near Saundersfoot Harbour when a disposable barbecue sparked a fire, charring 70 square metres of trees and bracken. The quick response from Tenby’s fire crew averted a “major incident,” but not without a wave of concern.
🌡️ This comes as parts of Wales endure one of the driest months on record, with relentless heat leaving grasslands scorched. Local landowners are urging everyone to steer clear of lighting any kind of fire during these tinderbox conditions.
🌲 The Hean Castle Estate owners highlighted the “irresponsibility” of lighting barbecues in the current climate and applauded the public and fire service for their fast action.
🚒 As firefighters continue to battle blazes across Wales—from Harlech’s fire seen from space to the smouldering scenes in Blaenavon—it’s crucial we all do our part. Local vendors are being asked to reconsider selling disposable barbecues until the rain returns and eases the fire risk.
💧 With only light showers forecasted, let’s stay vigilant and protect the lush landscapes that make Wales beautiful. Share this message and keep our countryside safe! 🌿
