Residents evacuated as crews tackle blaze for over three hours

A HOUSE in the Tregynwr area of Carmarthen has collapsed following a major fire on Monday evening (Apr 7).

The blaze broke out at around 6:50pm at a two-storey terraced home on Haulfryn, Llangunnor. Fire crews arrived to find the property “well alight” and fully engulfed in flames.

Firefighters from Carmarthen, Tumble, Kidwelly, Pontyates, Whitland and Morriston were called in to tackle the blaze, using four hose reel jets, six sets of breathing apparatus, a turntable ladder, and a safety jet to bring the fire under control.

Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service confirmed that the house sustained such extensive damage that it “fully collapsed.” Fortunately, there were no reports of injuries.

An adjoining house was checked and found to be safe from fire spread, but neighbours were evacuated overnight as a precaution.

The fire prompted a multi-agency response, with Dyfed-Powys Police managing road closures, and support on site from Western Power and Wales & West Utilities.

Fire crews left the scene at 10:06pm but returned later to damp down remaining hotspots and ensure the area was safe.

The cause of the fire is not yet known.

COLEG CAMBRIA has launched a suite of new higher education qualifications designed to equip the next generation of agricultural leaders in Wales.

The state-of-the-art land-based college, which has campuses in Wrexham, Deeside, Northop and Llysfasi, has unveiled Higher National Certificate (HNC) and Higher National Diploma (HND) programmes aimed at future farm managers, shepherds, farmers, and rural business professionals.

The new courses will be delivered at the college’s Llysfasi campus near Ruthin, where a £10 million Innovation Hub – Hwb Arloesi – was recently opened. Plans have also been submitted for a 50-bedroom student accommodation block to support the growing demand for agricultural education in the region.

Modules on offer include Business and Business Environment, Managing a Successful Project, Principles of Livestock Production, Animal Health and Welfare, Land-based Machinery and Technology, and Rural Business Administration and Accounting.

Emma Hurst, Dean of Access and Higher Education at Coleg Cambria, said the new qualifications are designed to meet the evolving needs of the agricultural sector.

“These programmes provide students with a strong foundation of knowledge, advanced technical skills, and the opportunity to pursue a wide range of careers across the land-based industries,” she said.

“In addition to access to expert lecturers and guest speakers, students on the HNC and HND programmes benefit from hands-on experience at Llysfasi’s commercial 1,000-acre farm, which includes dairy, suckler, and sheep enterprises.

“With developments in precision agriculture, smart farming technologies and new environmental challenges, there’s never been a more exciting time to enter the sector – and no better place to learn than Coleg Cambria.”

The Hwb Arloesi development, backed by more than £5.9 million from the Welsh Government’s Sustainable Communities for Learning Programme, spans 1,095 square metres across two carbon-neutral storeys. Built by Wrexham-based Read Construction, the facility includes classrooms, laboratories, a library, coffee shop, climbing wall, meeting spaces, atrium, Higher Education centre, and a wellbeing hub.

Elin Roberts, Head of Llysfasi, praised the impact the new building has already had.

“The hub is incredible – the equipment, teaching and learning spaces, and overall environment are unmatched in this region,” she said.

“It’s a huge boost for both students and staff. Those enrolling on our FE and HE agriculture programmes now have access to cutting-edge facilities in a welcoming, innovative learning environment.

“This is the perfect time to choose Coleg Cambria as the next step in your agricultural career.”
