| My mum and I were in Wrexham shopping and we saw a bit of smoke at first but when we came out of the shop there was smoke billowing out, you could barely see the church for it. There were large embers falling into the high street and you could see the flames coming through the roof. It's a shame that such a well known building has gone up in flames.Maya Johnson, Caerwys | |
| I live just over half mile away from town centre and you can see the smoke from here and much futher out. My partner rang me and told me not to bother going into town because they were trying to evacuate as many people as possible. I heard 2 fire engine's go past my house i assume that one of them was the one from chirk. | I live just over half mile away from town centre and you can see the smoke from here and much futher out.
