At 8.10pm yesterday, North Wales Fire and Rescue Service said: “Eight appliances and two narrow access vehicles will be tackling the fire.”

This morning, a service spokesperson confirmed that a stop had been called to the incident, saying: “We have inspected the area this morning and the stop was called in at 7.41am.”

A statement from the service last week said: “Burning of heather, grass, bracken and gorse is permitted up until March 15 (or up to March 31 in upland areas), but you must have a Burn Plan in place to ensure they are burning safely.

“It is against the law to burn outside of the burning season and can result in penalties of up to £1,000.

“Deliberately setting fire to our countryside is not only a crime, for which you can be prosecuted, but it also places unnecessary pressure on front line services and puts our communities in harm’s way.

“Remember - if you are out enjoying the countryside and you do come across any suspicious activity, please call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111, or ring 101.

“In an emergency, always call 999.”
