Firefighters spent more than five hours tackling a fire which broke out in a forest north of Carmarthen. Crews were called to an area near the Gwili Railway line between Carmarthen and Cynwyl Elfed shortly after 4pm on Thursday afternoon.
They remained at the scene until gone 9pm and fought to extinguish around 15 hectares of forestry - the equivalent of more than 35 acres. You can keep up to date with the latest Carmarthenshire news by signing up to the local newsletter here.
