Fire crews are responding to a blaze on the Sugar Loaf near Abergavenny this evening.

On a post on a local chat group call ‘Abergavenny Voice’ – many local residents have reported seeing smoke and flames rising from the mountain.

Alexandra said:

“A shame to be up at Keepers Pond this evening and find discarded BBQ trays, while a wild fire rages on the hills in the distance.

“If you’re out enjoy the weather and our surroundings then practice leaving no trace!”

Your Herefordshire understands that fire crews from South Wales Fire and Rescue Service are in attendance, after receiving a call earlier this evening.

There have been a number of grass fires over recent weeks and with the dry weather set to continue over the next week or so, there will no doubt be concerns that incidents such as these are set to continue.
