A huge blaze that tore up acres of grassland at Rhossili Bay in Gower came close to engulfing one of the National Trust's most popular holiday let properties.
Locals described witnessing flames and huge plumes of smoke lit up bright orange and billowing across the sky above Rhossili, and some took to social media to warn others later that evening. Photos show the fierce fire taking hold of grassland overlooking the beach, not far from the National Trust's Old Rectory property and a field of sheep. The property is so in demand it's often booked up two years in advance.
It's not yet known what caused the fire. WalesOnline has contacted Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service for information on the blaze - when we receive it, we will add it to this article. You can get more Swansea news and other story updates by subscribing to our newsletters here.
