Yn dilyn y Rhybudd Brys a gyhoeddwyd gan Lywodraeth y DU, rydym yn annog pawb i helpu i ddiogelu ein cymunedau, cefn gwlad a bywyd gwyllt drwy osgoi unrhyw weithgaredd a allai ddechrau tân.

Mae tymheredd uchel hir ac amodau eithriadol o sych wedi cynyddu’r risg o danau gwyllt ar draws Gogledd Cymru yn sylweddol.

Drwy ddilyn y cyngor hwn, gallwch helpu i ddiogelu Gogledd Cymru:

🔥Peidiwch â chynnau tanau gwersyll, pyllau tân na barbeciws tafladwy.
🎇Peidiwch â chael tân gwyllt na defnyddio llosgyddion gardd.
🎆Peidiwch â defnyddio tân gwyllt.
🚬Peidiwch â thaflu sigaréts, matsis na deunyddiau ysmygu ar y ddaear neu o gerbydau.
🚯Peidiwch â thaflu sbwriel Gall poteli gwydr, caniau a sbwriel arall gynyddu'r risg o dân a bod yn berygl i gymunedau, bywyd gwyllt a diffoddwyr tân.

Gall un wreichionen ddatblygu'n gyflym i fod yn dân gwyllt mawr, gan fygwth bywydau, cartrefi, busnesau, bywyd gwyllt a'r gwasanaethau brys sy'n ymateb i'r digwyddiad.

Cymerwch y risg presennol o danau gwyllt o ddifrif a helpwch i atal tanau rhag dechrau. Gyda'n gilydd, gallwn gadw Gogledd Cymru yn ddiogel.

Os gwelwch dân gwyllt, symudwch i leoliad diogel ar unwaith, ffoniwch 999 a gofynnwch am y Gwasanaeth Tân.

Following the Emergency Alert issued by the UK Government, we are urging everyone to help protect our communities, countryside and wildlife by avoiding any activity that could start a fire.

Prolonged high temperatures and exceptionally dry conditions have significantly increased the risk of wildfires across North Wales.

By following this advice, you can help keep North Wales safe:

🔥Do not light campfires, fire pits or disposable barbecues.
🎇Do not have bonfires or use garden incinerators.
🎆Do not use fireworks.
🚬Do not discard ci******es, matches or smoking materials on the ground or from vehicles.
🚯Do not leave litter behind. Glass bottles, cans and other rubbish can increase the risk of fire and pose a danger to communities, wildlife and firefighters.

A single spark can quickly develop into a major wildfire, threatening lives, homes, businesses, wildlife and the emergency services responding to the incident.

Please take the current wildfire risk seriously and help prevent fires from starting. Together, we can keep North Wales safe.

📲If you see a wildfire, move to a safe location immediately, call 999 and ask for the Fire Service.

🚨 🔥 Over the last 2 weeks Porthmadog crew along side many other stations, including help from Mid & West and South Wales Fire Service have worked endlessley fighting the fire to bring it under control in the Rhinogydd area while still attending other incidents within the community.

A big thank you to everyone who showed kindness towards us and our colleagues in those challenging times 👏🏻

🚨 🔥 Dros y pythefnos diwethaf, mae criw Porthmadog – ochr yn ochr â nifer o orsafoedd eraill, gan gynnwys cymorth gan Wasanaethau Tân Canolbarth a Gorllewin Cymru a De Cymru – wedi gweithio'n ddibaid i frwydro yn erbyn y tân yn ardal y Rhinogydd a'i ddod dan reolaeth, tra hefyd yn ymateb i ddigwyddiadau eraill yn y gymuned.

Diolch yn fawr i bawb a ddangosodd garedigrwydd tuag atom yn ystod y cyfnod heriol hwnnw. 👏🏻

Gallwn nawr gadarnhau y bydd hofrennydd diffodd tân arbenigol yn cael ei ddefnyddio ar y Rhinogydd fore fory i gefnogi'r ymateb parhaus i'r tân gwyllt.

Mae hyn yn dilyn ymdrechion parhaus i sicrhau cefnogaeth o'r awyr yn ystod cyfnod o alw eithriadol o ddigwyddiadau tanau gwyllt mewn mannau eraill yn y DU.

Bydd yr hofrennydd yn gwneud cyfraniad hanfodol i'r ymateb, gan weithio ochr yn ochr ag ymdrechion ymroddedig criwiau Gwasanaeth Tân ac Achub Gogledd Cymru a'n timau ein hunain, sydd wedi bod yn cefnogi'r ymateb i ddigwyddiad ar lawr gwlad.

Am fwy nag wythnos, mae ein staff, ein contractwyr a'n partneriaid wedi bod yn gweithio o gwmpas y cloc i ymateb i'r digwyddiad hwn, a byddwn yn parhau i gefnogi ein cydweithwyr yng Ngwasanaeth Tân ac Achub Gogledd Cymru yn y dyddiau i ddod.

Er bod yr hofrennydd yn cael ei ddefnyddio i gefnogi'r ymateb yn y Rhinogydd, bydd ei argaeledd yn parhau i gael ei asesu yn unol ag anghenion gweithredol ledled Cymru a'r DU yn ehangach.

Os bydd angen cefnogaeth awyr ar Wasanaethau Tân ac Achub eraill ar gyfer digwyddiadau yn eu hardal, byddwn yn parhau mewn cysylltiad agos i ddeall yr anghenion hynny ac ystyried y ffordd orau o gynorthwyo ochr yn ochr a’n partneriaid o asiantaethau gwahanol.

Hoffem ddiolch i bawb a fu'n rhan o'r ymateb, gan gynnwys cydweithwyr y Gwasanaeth Tân ac Achub, tirfeddianwyr, contractwyr a chymunedau lleol.

🚒 Update 16:30
Firefighters continue to respond to a number of wildfire incidents across North Wales, with crews undertaking inspections, maintaining firebreaks and working with partner agencies to reduce the risk of further spread.

At these locations, crews continue to maintain a presence, actively monitor conditions and dampen down hotspots as a precaution:
• Pentrefelin, Holyhead
• Hope Mountain
• Pentre Halkyn
• Mount Pleasant, Brymbo
• The mountain above Capelulo near Sychnant Pass

Resources remain in attendance on the Rhinogydd mountains near Cwm Bychan Lake, close to Harlech, and on the Trawsfynydd side of the mountain, where the fire is moving away from the forestry line.

The public are asked to take extra care if smoke affects visibility, particularly on the A470 in the Bronaber / Coed y Brenin area.

Met Office reports suggest that smoke from wildfires elsewhere in Wales and across the border, combined with changing wind conditions, may also be impacting communities in parts of North Wales.

Jami Jennings, Service Delivery Manager and Tactical Coordination Group Chair, said:
"This remains a demanding response for our crews, control room colleagues and support teams, and I am very grateful for the commitment they continue to show alongside our partner agencies.

"We are also extremely grateful to local communities for their patience and cooperation. Conditions are still very dry, so it is vital that people keep away from affected areas and avoid blocking access for emergency vehicles.

"Smoke can travel some distance depending on the wind direction, so communities that are not close to the fires may still notice smoke. Anyone affected should stay indoors where possible, keep windows and doors closed, and ventilate once conditions improve.

"We are asking everyone to help prevent further incidents:
• do not light fires, campfires or disposable barbecues,
• avoid controlled burns while conditions remain so dry,
• dispose of smoking materials safely, and take litter home.

"If you spot a fire, please leave the area immediately, get to a safe place and call 999, asking for the Fire and Rescue Service.

"Diolch yn fawr for continuing to support our work and for helping us keep people, communities and crews safe."
