This dramatic drone footage shows an entire mountainside being engulfed in a raging wildfire.

More than 60 of firefighters have been battling the series of blazes at Llangollen, North Wales, for three weeks.

Drone footage released by North Wales Police shows the fires sweeping 250 hectares of the Horseshoe Pass area.

North Wales Fire and Rescue Service have been working around the clock to put out the flames after the wildfire started on July 19.

A spokesperson said: “We still have two appliances there, as well as the incident command unit and the environmental protection unit, and the crews are damping down and dealing with hotspots.

“The area affected is about ten square kilometres. The future challenges are primarily associated with monitoring the site to ensure that any hotspots do not flare up again.

“The hotspots involve peat burning deep underground which is difficult to see.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
