Firefighters in Pembrokeshire are urging the public to stay safe following a number of weather related incidents.

Crews from Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service say they have attended a number incidents in recent days including road collisions, chimney fires and house fires which have all been attributed to the winter weather.

Fire Service Community Safety Manager Sion Slaymaker said: "Winter weather brings with it a new set of challenges and I would urge members of the public to think about fire safety in their home at this time of year.

"In addition the winter weather will affect road surfaces, driving conditions and the way your vehicle performs, it’s important to adjust driving styles to account for these changes to ensure you stay safe this winter."
