Teams from South Wales Fire and Rescue are continuing to fight a moorland fire near Llangynidr Reservoir near Ebbw Vale.

Crews are still working alongside partner agencies and specialist contractors to contain the fire, which is still a challenge due to the wind, and teams have been there all weekend deploying a range of firefighting tactics.

A spokesman for SWFR said, “Our advice remains the same: please do not fly drones near the incident. Unauthorised drones can interfere with emergency operations and prevent firefighters from using specialist equipment to safely manage the incident.

“ If you are affected by smoke, please keep windows and doors closed. Anyone experiencing health concerns should seek appropriate medical advice.

“Please avoid the area and allow emergency services to continue their work safely.”

Smoke from the blaze could reportedly be seen as far away as Herefordshire and the Forest of Dean.

In a separate incident there were reports of a small fire in the forestry close to the Fiddler’s Elbow between Govilon and Blaenavon. This was dealt with and quickly brought under control.
