Overview
- The blaze, which broke out Monday, has seen South Wales Fire and Rescue deploy multiple crews and specialist kit including aerial ladder platforms, high‑volume pumps and water bowsers.
- South Wales Police are assisting with traffic but say no roads are closed, though thick smoke is causing heavy delays on the A470 and at a nearby roundabout.
- An on‑site witness reported a 'horrific noise' and said the remaining roof caved in, and council leader Andrew Morgan posted footage showing large plumes of smoke and flames.
- Authorities have advised nearby residents to close all windows and doors and asked the public to avoid the area to allow emergency operations to continue.
- The building houses local businesses and the council’s corporate estates department, damage is being assessed, and no cause or confirmed casualties have been reported so far.
