Yesterday afternoon, crews from Tredegar and Treorchy, abertillery and Rhymeny, were back in Nantybwch to tackle remaining hot spots from the recent grass fire. Our teams worked together with local farmers with water carriers to bring the area back to safety and prevent further spread.

Earlier today, Tredegar crews attended a small grass fire behind the mast on Manmoel Road. Using hose reels and digging strategic fire breaks, firefighters managed to extinguish the blaze and prevent it from spreading.
With dry conditions, outdoor fires can spread rapidly. We kindly remind everyone to dispose of smoking materials responsibly and avoid open flames in grassy areas.

☀️🌊The temperature might be rising, but the open water is still cold.

Cold water shock can set in within minutes, affecting your breathing, movement, and ability to stay afloat.

It can happen to anyone, even strong swimmers, take care, enter the water slowly, and never underestimate the risks 🏊‍♂️
