An eye witness told North Wales Live: “Due to the quick actions of everybody and the layout of the site, it was thankfully only one unfortunate seasonal pitch that was damaged.” Another said: “Waking up in the next field to someone screaming for a fire extinguisher, was so scary and sad.”
Another person at the scene said: “I just wanted to say a huge thank you for the professionalism and speed at which the Fire Service responded last night - absolutely superb and big thanks to all, including Police and Ambulance service. Very frightening to witness first hand but again thankfully nobody hurt.”
