Firefighters from two Powys stations battle grass fire in Powys

Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service said the incident affected around 50 metres of gorse in the Maesmynis area.

Dry, sunny and windy. That's not the time to make a fire, even though it may feel tempting to try to get rid of last year's grass or a pile of rice from the garden.

In just over an hour, the emergency services were called to four grass fires. Three in Värmland, and one just on the border with Dalsland.
