Rhondda Cynon Taf: Deliberate fire set to save attraction

Firefighters intentionally burned grass and scrub around a tourist attraction to prevent its destruction by a raging wildfire, which started on Monday.

As the Rhigos Mountain fire advanced towards Zip World in Aberdare, Rhondda Cynon Taf, crews battling the blaze set a "tactical burn".

The tactic worked and the zip-line has remained open.
