Police Drone Supporting Crews as Wildfires Continue Across North Wales

Fire crews remain at Brymbo Pool as North Wales Fire and Rescue Service responds to several other grassland blazes across the region.

  • On Thursday, July 23, 2026, North Wales Fire and Rescue Service crews remained at the Brymbo site monitoring conditions as firefighters managed six separate wildfires across the region.
  • Prolonged hot, dry weather has caused sustained demand on emergency services, with large-scale landscape fires destroying habitat across North Wales in recent weeks.
  • Due to the scale of the fires, NWFRS requested mutual aid through National Resilience, with specialist resources from Mid and West Wales and South Wales now assisting at Rhinogydd.
  • Officials advise residents to shelter indoors as wind shifts make smoke 'more noticeable,' while Magellan Aerospace Wrexham donated £300 to North Wales Wildlife Trust for habitat recovery.
  • Farmers' Union of Wales President Ian Rickman called for urgent government action, saying the 10-day-old Rhinogydd fire is 'unlike anything seen before' and threatens livestock and grazing land.
