Then at 12.50pm yesterday a crew from Caernarfon was called to public toilets in the multi-storey car park at Canolfan Penllyn in the town where a quantity of toilet paper had been set on fire.

Firefighters used a bucket of water to put out the blaze and also undertook smoke clearance work.

Meanwhile, a crew from Holyhead was called out to extinguish a quantity of food waste which had caught light behind a chip shop on Greenfield Terrace in the town just before 2am today.
