Starting deliberate wildfires isn't cool - it is a crime.

If you have any information on deliberate fires call CrimeStoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111. In an emergency always call 999. Help stop wildfires.

So what’s happening in the Eden Centre tonight… watch this space! All will be revealed.

Btw… don’t panic! All is well 🤭

🔥 Training for the Season Ahead 🔥

Our crews have recently been undertaking vital water strategy training alongside familiarisation sessions with our wildfire equipment, ensuring we are fully prepared for the challenges that come with the summer months.

As temperatures rise, we often see a significant increase in wildfire and deliberate grass fire incidents across our communities. These fires can spread rapidly, causing serious damage to land, property, and the natural environment. They also pose a real threat to wildlife and animals, destroying habitats and putting countless lives at risk.

What’s often not seen is the impact on our firefighters. Crews work tirelessly in extreme conditions—battling intense heat, difficult terrain, and long hours on mountainsides—all to keep our communities safe. This type of work is physically and mentally demanding, and incidents like these can place a significant strain on crew welfare.

🚫 Deliberately setting fires is not harmless.
It endangers lives, devastates our countryside, and puts unnecessary pressure on emergency services.

🙏 We ask everyone to play their part:
• Never start fires in open areas
• Dispose of ci******es responsibly
• Report any signs of fire immediately

Together, we can help protect our communities, our environment, and the firefighters who are there when you need them most.

🔥 Paratoi ar gyfer y Tymor Sydd i Ddod 🔥

Mae ein criwiau wedi bod yn ymgymryd yn ddiweddar â hyfforddiant strategaeth dŵr hanfodol ochr yn ochr â sesiynau ymgyfarwyddo â’n hoffer tanau gwyllt, er mwyn sicrhau ein bod yn gwbl barod ar gyfer yr heriau sy’n dod gyda misoedd yr haf.

Wrth i’r tymereddau godi, rydym yn aml yn gweld cynnydd sylweddol mewn tanau gwyllt a thanau glaswellt bwriadol ar draws ein cymunedau. Gall y tanau hyn ledaenu’n gyflym, gan achosi difrod difrifol i dir, eiddo, a’r amgylchedd naturiol. Maent hefyd yn fygythiad gwirioneddol i fywyd gwyllt ac anifeiliaid, gan ddinistrio cynefinoedd a rhoi bywydau di-rif mewn perygl.

Yr hyn nad yw’n cael ei weld yn aml yw’r effaith ar ein diffoddwyr tân. Mae criwiau’n gweithio’n ddiflino mewn amodau eithafol—yn ymladd gwres dwys, tir anodd, ac oriau hir ar lethrau mynyddoedd—i gadw ein cymunedau’n ddiogel. Mae’r math hwn o waith yn heriol yn gorfforol ac yn feddyliol, a gall digwyddiadau fel hyn roi pwysau sylweddol ar les y criw.

🚫 Nid yw cynnau tanau yn fwriadol yn ddiniwed.
Mae’n peryglu bywydau, yn difetha ein cefn gwlad, ac yn rhoi pwysau diangen ar y gwasanaethau brys.

🙏 Gofynnwn i bawb chwarae eu rhan:
• Peidiwch byth â chynnau tanau mewn mannau agored
• Gwaredwch sigaréts yn gyfrifol
• Rhowch wybod am unrhyw arwyddion o dân ar unwaith

Gyda’n gilydd, gallwn helpu i ddiogelu ein cymunedau, ein hamgylchedd, a’r diffoddwyr tân sydd yno pan fydd eu hangen fwyaf.

🚒 Firefighters from Abertillery Fire Station took part in a productive weekly drill night this Wednesday, focusing on core operational skills.

Crews carried out realistic scenarios involving hose reels and 45mm jets, committing two breathing apparatus wearers to a second-floor incident. They also practised pitching the 10.5-metre ladder to gain safe access at height.

In addition, crews established a water supply to the appliance via a dam, using a range of equipment to maintain a consistent and reliable flow throughout the exercise.

Regular training like this ensures crews remain confident, capable, and ready to respond effectively when it matters most—while also maintaining the skills needed to build dams and lift water from rivers, lakes, and other sources when required. 💪🔥

🚒 Cymerodd diffoddwyr tân o Orsaf Dân Abertyleri ran mewn noson ymarfer wythnosol gynhyrchiol ddydd Mercher hwn, gan ganolbwyntio ar sgiliau gweithredol craidd.

Cynhaliodd y criwiau senarios realistig yn cynnwys hosys rîl a jetiau 45mm, gan ymrwymo dau wisgwr offer anadlu i ddigwyddiad ar yr ail lawr. Fe wnaethant hefyd ymarfer gosod y ysgol 10.5 metr i gael mynediad diogel ar uchder.

Yn ogystal, sefydlodd y criwiau gyflenwad dŵr i’r cerbyd drwy ddefnyddio argae, gan ddefnyddio amrywiaeth o offer i gynnal llif dŵr cyson a dibynadwy drwy gydol yr ymarfer.

Mae hyfforddiant rheolaidd fel hyn yn sicrhau bod y criwiau’n parhau’n hyderus, yn gymwys ac yn barod i ymateb yn effeithiol pan fo’r angen—tra hefyd yn cynnal y sgiliau i adeiladu argaeau a chodi dŵr o afonydd, llynnoedd a ffynonellau eraill pan fo angen. 💪🔥
