At 12.34 pm on April 2 the Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service crews from Crymych, Fishguard, Lampeter, Cardigan and Newcastle Emlyn Fire Stations were called to an incident in Brynberian in Pembrokeshire.

“This incident is currently still ongoing. Crews have responded to a grass fire involving a large area of gorse,” said a spokesperson for the Fire Service.
