A Senior Fire Officer is praising effective partnership working and actions of staff on site at Conwy Marina following a fire at the weekend.
North Wales Fire and Rescue Service was called at 17.56 on Saturday to Conwy Marina, Ellis Way, Conwy. At the height of the incident, crews from Conwy, Colwyn Bay, Llanfairfechan and Llandudno, the Water Incident Unit from Bangor and the Incident Command Unit from Rhyl were in attendance.
One woman was conveyed to hospital with leg injuries and the fire caused severe fire damage to the two vessels involved. The cause of the fire was accidental.
Paul Kay, Head of Fire Safety at North Wales Fire and Rescue Service, said: “This incident was a great example of multi agency working, with colleagues in the joint Control Room and at the incident working quickly and effectively with partners and staff from the marina to prevent fire spread to other boats.
“Multi agency meetings with colleagues from North Wales Police, The Welsh Ambulance Services NHS Trust, Conwy Council, The Coastguard and The Coastal Office also ensured a cohesive coordinated response.
“My thanks go to all involved.”
