Over 50 firefighters worked into the night to tackle a mountain fire in the Welsh Valleys. The fire service was alerted to the grass fire on Rhigos Mountain, Treherbet, at around 1.09pm on Sunday, August 14.
Emergency services received over 40 repeat calls about the incident, and several crews from across south Wales attended the scene alongside emergency service colleagues.
Tackling the fire enlisted the help of "specialist resources" including a helicopter, Polaris all-terrain vehicle and water browsers. Fire crews also used equipment such as hose reels, beaters, and leaf blowers to douse the fire and prevent it from spreading further.
