Gower Policing Team.

Over the last 72 Hrs several Grass Fires have been deliberately started on Hardingsdown,  Pengwern and Cefn Bryn commons. Deliberate ignition is illegal and Quite simply, these fires are putting people’s lives at risk, whether due to their proximity to homes or due to the tying up of resources. They also have a devastating impact on wildlife.
We urge those engaging in such mindless acts to really consider the potential consequences of their actions. Such actions are never tolerated by our fire service colleagues or ourselves. The message to anyone involved is simple. Think about your actions, stop now or you will face the full force of the law.
Not only do grass fires pose a serious risk to the culprit and others, but a criminal conviction can also have life-long implications for an individual. Lighting grass fires is never worth the risk.
Our communities can also play a huge part therefore we ask the public, if you come across a grass fire or have any information as to who is responsible for deliberately lighting any fires to report it immediately.”
South Wales Police can be contacted via 101, or 999 in an emergency. Alternatively, Crimestoppers can be contacted anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Thankyou
