Fire crews are battling another mountain fire in the south Wales Valleys which they have been tackling all afternoon.

Firefighters were called to a hillside next to Wattsville, in Caerphilly , at 3.30pm where a fire was blazing.

Six appliances and a helicopter are still at the scene in order to dampen the fire and put it out.

There has been a recent spate of grass and forestry fires in the area as the warm weather continues.

The fire brigade were called to a mountain fire in Cwmaman on Saturday, which saw three appliances and a helicopter attend.

Firefighters also battled another mountain fire overnight on the Abernant fire in Aberdare on Friday night.

Also this weekend, a Swansea rugby team's pitch has been burnt to a crisp in what appears to be a deliberate arson .

Smoke emerging from the pitch and just a few patches of green grass can be seen as the majority of the surface has been completely burnt.
