Wales’ wildfires: Lessons need to be learned, Plaid minister says | UK News

Davies said: “We need to learn from every experience we have to make sure that we respond in the most effective and prompt way possible to the challenges.

“In an era of climate change, we’re going to be facing hotter summers, we’re likely to see more wildfires.”

The minister for government effectiveness said a fire summit would be held later this year to “learn the lessons we can from this summer”.

He said he had spoken with personnel from SWFRS and the Army, as well fire services from across England that were brought in to “respond effectively to the major challenge”.

On Wednesday, crews were continuing to tackle fires at Blaenavon, Dowlais, and Llwyn-on Reservoir, with two others at Wattsville and Cwm in Ebbw Vale being monitored.

About 200 Army personnel began digging fire breaks over the weekend and provided logistical support, including water distribution.

When asked if more help could have been provided, Davies said: “The request was made, the request was fulfilled promptly, and because of that we’ve had firebreaks here on the mountain that have stopped the fire spreading to people’s homes.

“That’s what we were really facing here in Treherbert… a genuine danger of people’s homes being at risk.

“And because of the prompt action of the fire service and support from elsewhere, and from the Army we’ve managed to stop that risk.”
