This is the blaze that spread across a hillside on Tuesday evening, taking fire crews more than five hours to put out.

The blaze at Mynydd Gelliwastad, near Clydach, Swansea, started just after 19:00 GMT, Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service said.

More than 160 emergency calls were made to 999 about it and crews from Morriston, Neath, Ammanford and Pontardawe were sent to the scene, with the flames finally extinguished just after midnight.

It was one of several grass fires attended by firefighters across south, mid and north Wales on Tuesday.
