Extra fire fighters are being drafted
in throughout Mid Glamorgan as the
number of grass fires continue to soar.
Chief Fire Officer David Williams is
warning that exhausted firemen are
suffering injuries as they scramble up
hillsides to fight the forest fires.
He says the massive workload is also a
drain on funds and estimates the cost
of dealing with grass fires at £1/4m.
Thj number of grass fires has almost
doubled in the last twelve months to
nearly 5,000 between March and July.
