These dramatic pictures show firefighters battling a major gorse fire which broke out on a mountain on Anglesey last night.
Emergency services rushed to the scene on Anglesey after the flames were reported at around 7pm yesterday evening
The spectacular images, taken at close range by Phil Williams of Llanddeusant, show fire crews from Holyhead , Rhosneigr and Llangefni battling to extinguish the flames.
The alarm bell was raised at around 7pm last night.
The cause of the fire on Mynydd Twr, also known as Holyhead Mountain, is currently unknown.
Although there are a number of homes further down the mountain, no properties are thought to have been damaged.
But the acres of burning gorse, grass and bracken were visible from large parts of north-west Anglesey.
A spokesman for the North Wales Fire and Rescue Service confirmed last night: "Crews are currently dealing with the fire using a hose reel and beaters.”
The incident happened just 24 hours after another gorse fire on Bangor mountain on the outskirts of the city
