Llangollen fire crews use app to locate forest blaze


* The What3Words app used to locate the forest fire last night.

Llangollen fire station is highlighting the benefits of using a new app to locate a local forest fire yesterday (Sunday) evening.

On its Facebook page this morning it says crews attended the blaze in Pen Coed woods at 8.35pm.

And it adds: "The crews worked hard in the heat to pull up 120 meters of hose to the seat of the fire. 

"A big thank you to a member of the public who called it in and met crews at the scene. 

"What3words was used, which is a great tool for the public to use if they are unfamiliar with their location. 

"It will locate you within a three-meter square anywhere in the world. 

"This is a location app that you can download. Please see the picture attached it’s a very good app."
