North Wales' fire and rescue authority serving six counties from its St Asaph HQ
Wildfires across England and Wales remain at very high to exceptional risk as heatwave conditions continue. North Wales declared a major incident near Conwy Mountain; firefighters are battling blazes in Conwy, Glossop, Tintwistle Moor and other sites as temperatures stay dangerously high. Authorities urge caution and continued vigilance.
Firefighters across Wales are contending with several wildfires, including Rhinogydd in Gwynedd and Blaenavon in Torfaen. Ground operations are underway with aerial support under discussion at the UK level. Officials warn the fires will burn for several days as smoky conditions affect communities.
A man who climbed a hospital roof and brandished a blade has been fined after pleading guilty to nuisance on NHS premises. He was also ordered to pay compensation and costs, with related charges including shoplifting. The health board stresses a zero-tolerance policy for abuse.
