Wildfire - statement

We will continue to work closely with partner agencies
Conwy County Borough Council Statement:
We would like to express our sincere thanks to colleagues at North Wales Fire and Rescue Service (NWFRS) and North Wales Police (NWP) for their continued dedication and tireless efforts in responding to the wildfire at Sychnant Pass.
The incident remains ongoing and is being managed through a coordinated multi-agency response involving the emergency services and partner organisations, working together to keep local communities safe.
The Council is currently supporting residents who were evacuated from their homes. While some families have been able to stay with relatives or friends, we arranged accommodation for a number of households and continue to provide assistance where needed.
Our priority is ensuring that those affected receive the support they need during this time, and staff are available at our rest centre at Conwy Business Centre.
We will continue to work closely with partner agencies and offer help to residents until NWFRS advises that it is safe for people to return to their homes.
