Summary created with AI assistance · Source: walesonline.co.uk

The fire on Mynydd Garnclochdy between Blaenavon and Abersychan has burned for six days across more than 200 hectares.

South Wales Fire and Rescue Service classifies it as a significant wildfire; crews are using specialist equipment in difficult terrain.

Shifting winds carried smoke up to 30 miles; residents reported burning smells and fine ash on windowsills and cars.

Osito's says the restaurant prepares 40 to 50 sausage sandwiches and around 100 hash browns daily for firefighters.

This is our home. Having someone in the family who's done this job, I've seen what it's like. My brother has been up there for days on end. Firefighters are out there for 12 or 14 hours at a time. They get food provided, but often it's cold sandwiches, crisps and a drink. Sometimes they just need a proper hot meal to keep them going.
— Lydia Coada, co-owner of Osito's in Blaenavon, describing why she and her husband started feeding firefighters during the Blaenavon wildfire
