People are being urged to refrain from lighting bonfires after a blaze destroyed a hectare of the sand dunes in Ynyslas earlier this week.

At around 3.03pm on Tuesday, Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service were called to reports of a fire in the sand dunes in Ynyslas.

Around one hectare of grass was alight, which crews extinguished using two hose reel jets and six beaters. The fire crew left the scene at 4.18pm.
