NWFRS: regional fire and rescue agency for Anglesey, Conwy, Denbighshire, Flintshire, Gwynedd and Wrexham
Wildfires across Wales have intensified this week, prompting the deployment of a specialist firefighting helicopter to Rhinogydd in Gwynedd. Authorities say several fires remain active, with Blaenavon in Torfaen identified as a priority for ground operations. Officials warn the fires will burn for several days as smoke affects multiple communities.
A man dressed in a black hooded outfit, described as resembling a crow, has scaled the roof of Ysbyty Glan Clwyd in North Wales. He has pleaded guilty to causing a nuisance on NHS premises and was fined £200. Police and fire teams responded; the health board maintains a zero-tolerance policy on nuisance and aggression in hospitals. The suspect also admitted petty thefts.
