Footage shows more than 30 firefighters tackling an ongoing wildfire on Garth Mountain, north of Cardiff.

The fire, which continued to burn on Monday evening, was first reported at 15:00 GMT and by 16:30 had grown to cover nearly 50 acres.

Four crews were at the scene.

The combined control room for South Wales and Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service said they had been swamped with calls reporting both the fire on Garth Mountain, and a separate wildfire on Sugarloaf Mountain, north west of Abergavenny, Monmouthshire.

There have been 117 calls about the fire on The Garth so far and 48 for the fire on Sugarloaf.

The incidents follow a series of wildfires across Wales in recent weeks, as dry and settled weather continues.
