North Wales fire chiefs say the risk of wildfires remains high in the region despite the prospect of some rainfall.

Crews were called out earlier this week after a campfire was spotted by a member of the public in an area considered to be at high risk.

North Wales Fire and Rescue Service said it was quickly brought under control before it could spread.

Inspection visits are still being made as a precaution at the scene of previous fires at Pentrefelin, near Holyhead and at Bangor Mountain, where stronger winds have led to flareups.

Emergency services are also reminding the public to stay away from affected areas and to keep windows and doors closed if their area is affected by smoke.

Jody McEachearn, head of prevention at NWFRS, said: "If you're planning to enjoy the countryside this weekend, please do so responsibly and help protect our communities, wildlife and natural environment."

"Do not light campfires, fire pits or disposable barbecues in the countryside. Do not leave litter behind. Glass bottles, cans and other rubbish can contribute to fires and put communities, wildlife and firefighters at risk. Do not discard cigarettes on the ground or throw them from vehicles."

"Wildfires can spread rapidly and cause significant damage. Every wildfire has the potential to put lives, property and the environment at risk. Please be responsible and help prevent them...if you see a wildfire, move to a safe place, call 999 and ask for the Fire Service."

A NWFRS spokesperson said while showers are expected to provide "welcome assistance to firefighting efforts", the forecast suggests they are unlikely to be enough to extinguish fires and conditions will need close monitoring.
