Smell of smoke is coming from south Wales, says fire service

North Wales Fire and Rescue Service has sent out a message reassuring people who say they can smell smoke on the air that it's coming from many miles away.

This comes after a number of people in this area have reported this smell on social media.

The fire service says on its own social media post: "Our control room is receiving a lot of calls this morning relating to smoke. We can confirm that the smoke is travelling from the wildfires currently burning in South Wales.

"If you see a fire, please call 999 immediately. Otherwise please keep the phone lines clear.

"Help reduce the risk of fires during this exceptionally dry period by taking extra care when outdoors. Please avoid activities that could accidentally start a fire and follow any local safety advice.https://www.northwalesfire.gov.wales/.../appeal-to-stay.../
