Emergency services have been dealing with a major fire in Caernarfon town centre.

Three crews were called to an empty building opposite the Tafarn y Porth (Weatherspoons) pub on Stryd y Porth Mawr shortly after 8pm on Friday night.

Footage and photos on social media showed the vacant building well alight but it's believed the fire is now under control and there are no reports of injuries.

North Wales Fire and Rescue Service said two crews from Caernarfon and one from Bangor attended the scene after being called at just before 8.10pm.

There are no further details at the moment but MônFM has contacted North Wales Police and North Wales Fire & Rescue Service for more information.

This is a developing story. More to follow.
