Looks like the council have done a bit of sponsorship for later in the year.

Reports of a serious fire in Llandudno this afternoon, with 3 fire crews attending. I could see the smoke from Conwy, anyone know where the fire was?

Fire today around 1.30 in the region of Llandudno Hospital.  Followed 2 Fire Tenders but didn't' go all the way.  Anyone any more news on the incident? :(

One police van with sirens and blue lights flashing raced down Mostyn Street around 3.30pm and stopped right outside Poundland.

Two minutes later, two police cars raced down Mostyn Street and went right past Poundland.

30 minutes later another police car raced down Mostyn Street.

I haven't a clue what all that was all about.

Saw several police outside poundstretcher at about 3.30pm arrested an old man and took him away.
He must have been about 80 years of age.
Probably wanted some exitement in his later years

Fire appliances from Llandudno, Colwyn Bay and Conwy, together with an aerial ladder platform from Rhyl, were called to reports of a fire at a property at Ffordd Elisabeth, Llandudno at 13:23hrs today (Saturday 25th May).
 
Black smoke was reported to be coming from the windows of the two storey terraced building and crews arrived to find the first floor heavily involved in fire, with concern for four people who at that time were unaccounted for.
 
Firefighters entered the property using four sets of breathing apparatus, two hose reel jets and a main jet to fight the fire, and then worked to contain the spread of flames to adjacent properties.
 
Thankfully all those residing at this address were safely accounted for by North Wales Police.
 
The cause of the fire has yet to be determined. Crews are currently dampening down the fire and working to make the property structurally safe and to assess the damage.
 
There is no more information available at present.

I wonder if the first police van mistakenly went to Poundland instead of Poundstretcher.

House fire in Ffordd Elisabeth, the family have lost everything, they have just the clothes they are wearing. An appeal on Facebook is bringing in lots of items for family, people were leaving donations at Ty Llewellyn earlier this evening.

Wow, these r/c drones get great shots!  Hope they can sort the hotel out ok! Thank goodness It didn't happen when the Extravaganza was on!
