Three fire crews tackled a wildfire in Aberbeeg for two hours last night.

Crews from Abertillery, Brynmawr and Caerphilly found seven hectares of wildfire well alight near Cwm Colliery at 6.30pm.

They spent two hours putting out the fire using beaters.

Jennie Griffiths from the South Wales Fire Service said it was 'deliberately lit.'
