🚒🔥 Firefighters in Action: Mountain Blaze and a Separate Grass Fire Alert! 🔥🚒
It’s been a scorching bank holiday, and fire crews have been hard at work tackling a mountain fire above Cefn Pennar in Mountain Ash. This blaze, spotted from miles around including Cwmbach, Aberdare, and HeolGerrig in Merthyr, started around 7.30pm. With the ground bone dry after a run of hot weather and hardly any rain, conditions have been ripe for fires.
Meanwhile, Newport residents around Clifton Common, Goldcliff, are being advised to keep doors and windows shut due to a separate grass fire that ignited around 6.30pm.
🔥 Monday’s heat was one for the history books, marking the hottest bank holiday ever, according to the Met Office! The fire brigade hasn’t pinpointed a cause for these fires yet.
