36 homes have been evacuated after wildfires raged across North Wales.
The fire broke out on Sunday near Conway Mountain and Sychnant Pass in Conway County.
About 200 acres of land were damaged, and one family that was forced to evacuate their homes said the fire reached their driveway.
North Wales Fire and Rescue Service chief fire officer Anthony Jones told Radio 4’s Today program they were expecting the fire to spread due to the heat wave.
Jones said nearby residents should keep windows and doors closed.
He added that 200 hectares of land were damaged by a fire that broke out 1.6 kilometers from the height of the accident.
The fire service urged people to evacuate the area, and told residents in nearby communities to close windows and doors.
Linus Evans, from North Wales Fire and Rescue, told Radio Wales Breakfast that 36 properties in Capello, near the mountains, had been evacuated on Sunday as a precaution.
She added that the service had eight fire engines, four narrow-gauge vehicles and two wildfires at one time.
Michelle Campbell, 44, her husband Ben, 46, and their three sons fled their home in Capello when the fire reached their property.
“The noise was worse than anything else. It was very loud, it was screaming. You could hear it coming down the mountain,” he said.
He said he received a distress call at 04:30, but 30 minutes later a neighbor knocked on their door and said, “The mountain above your house is on fire.”
