• People were told to stay away from the area and residents in Llandudno, including on Ffordd Maenan and Bodnant, were asked to keep windows and doors closed.
• Smoke was seen from Abergele, Llanfairfechan and the Conwy Valley, with some locals saying they could hear the fire crackling near homes.
• The incident follows recent blazes at Mynydd Bodafon and Newborough Forest, as Natural Resources Wales urged visitors to skip BBQs because a single spark can cause serious harm.
