A fire at an empty building in Caernarfon town centre is believed to have been started by an electrical fault.

 

Three crews were called to a vacant unit opposite the Tafarn y Porth (Weatherspoons) pub on Stryd y Porth Mawr on Friday evening.

"Officers attended alongside colleagues from North Wales Fire and Rescue Service. The cause of the fire is thought to be an electrical fault."
