A significant wildfire burning in Wales has caused smoke to travel into neighbouring regions, including Somerset, where residents have reported smelling burning. The Avon Fire and Rescue Service has issued a precautionary advisory for locals to consider closing their windows to reduce smoke ingress.
The wildfire continues to affect the environment in Wales, while its impact is being felt further afield due to prevailing winds carrying the smoke across county borders. Emergency services remain vigilant as they monitor the situation and provide guidance to communities impacted by the smoke.
Residents in Somerset are urged to stay informed through official channels and take necessary measures to minimise exposure to the smoke, particularly individuals with respiratory conditions or other health concerns.
