Wildfires on Llangynidr Reservoir

There have been several wildfires reported across the local area, and emergency services remain on scene dealing with a number of ongoing incidents.

As a precaution, please ensure that appropriate safeguarding measures are taken. Keep all windows and doors closed where possible to reduce exposure to smoke and airborne particles. Anyone experiencing any health concerns, particularly those with existing respiratory conditions, should seek appropriate medical advice without delay.

Please avoid the affected areas and allow South Wales Fire and Rescue Service, along with partner agencies, to carry out their work safely and effectively. Avoid unnecessary travel near the incidents and follow any local road closures or safety advice that may be in place.

We would also remind everyone that drones must not be flown in the vicinity of any fire. The use of drones can pose a significant risk to emergency service operations and may hinder firefighting efforts, putting both responders and the public at risk.

Thank you for your cooperation and support while emergency services continue to manage these incidents safely.
