Pembrokeshire firefighters attend to floods

Due to the recent flooding in parts of Pembrokeshire, fire crews have had to respond to a number of incidents.

The county has been beset with heavy rain and in some areas people had to be rescued from cars.

A spokesperson for the fire service said:

“We got a call out to Llangwm near Neyland, after a few cars stuck in flood water, with reports of people in the vehicles.

“By the time we arrived, police had also attended, and a passerby had already pulled those people out safely.”

As well as these kinds of instances, the firefighters have also been using pumps to remove water from homes.

The Mid and West Wales service has been called out to a number of residences around Pembroke Dock and Haverfordwest.

There have also been issues regarding surface water on the roads where the fire service has been involved too, although most of these situations have been describes as minor, isolated incidents.

The fire service has had to help out with the flooding problems in addition to the usual call-outs for fires within the county. When it comes to fire safety, it is important to ensure that your home or business is protected against the threat posed by fire.
