FOUR people had to be rescued from their vehicles in flood water in Wrexham after Storm Bert hit the UK.
In a weekend update from Johnstown Fire Station, a spokesman said they attended six incidents over the weekend, which also included a landslide caused by flooding.
The station joined colleagues from Llangollen, Ruthin and Wrexham to move ten casualties to safety from the landslide in the Llanarmon DC area of the Ceiriog Valley on Saturday.
The following morning in Bangor on Dee, working alongside crews from Deeside and Wrexham, the crew from Johnstown said they assisted in rescuing four casualties from vehicles in flood water.
Amid the flooding incidents, Johnstown fire fighters also attended two Automatic Fire Alarms (AFA’s) and a road traffic collision over the weekend, as well as a car fire in the early hours of yesterday (Monday) morning in Rhos.
They used breathing apparatus and hose reel jets to extinguish the fire.
A spokesman for North Wales Fire and Rescue Service said there is no cause for the vehicle fire but it is not being treated as suspicious.
