Warning as arsonists keep lighting fires at disused power plant

A warning has been issued after a recent spate of arson attacks at a disused Welsh power plant. Firefighters have recently responded to incidents at Baglan Bay Power Station near Port Talbot.

The site has been mostly decommissioned after the Baglan Group entered administration in the summer of 2020 when the power station stopped generating electricity. It was built in 2003 on the site of a former chemical plant. The fire service has said there have been several arson attacks at the site in recent times and has now issued a stark warning to those responsible, reminding them of the dangers they pose to themselves and to others, with some sections of the site considered unsafe.
