Nid yw ein tudalen yn cael ei monitro 24/7.

Mewn argyfwnwg ffoniwch 999
Our page isn't monitored 24/7. In the event of an emergency call 999 We are an entirely "On Call" station. That means every one of the crew has a "day job", either works, lives or both within 6 mins of the station, and are summoned when required by radio pager. Underneath the kit we are factory workers and farmers, council highways staff and welders, fitness instructors

and tree surgeons. But we are all trained and equipped to the same standards as our Wholetime colleagues and respond to the same incidents. We cover a large, mostly rural area from approx 5 miles West of Welshpool to the Gwynedd boundary including Llanerfyl, Llangadfan and Foel (although regularly cross as far as Mallwyd) Also 1st response to the communities of Tregynon, Adfa, Llanwyddellan, Cefn Coch, New Mills and Manafon to the south, and Dolanog, Pont Robert and half of Meifod to the North.

Roger and his staff and residents at Neuadd Bridge caravan park have been generous to allow us to use their section of the Afon Banwy for Water 1st Responder training for several years. More recently, as the number of WFR stations across MAWW has increased, they have extended this welcome to our colleagues from across Northern Command. We hugely appreciate this and are pleased to see them being recognised by the Service.

Yesterday, 05P1 was mobilised along with 01P1 from Newtown Fire Station/ Gorsaf dân Y Drenewydd to reports of a small rubbish fire spread to tyres at a farm near Bettws Cedewain.

While en route the incident significantly escalated to involve straw bales in nearby sheds. Newtown were 1st in attendance and rapidly made up for more resources with the incident peaking at 6 major pumping appliances, a rural response pump and a water carrier.

The fire was successfully contained to the two buildings first involved and the straw allowed to burn down overnight under supervision.
