At HMP Berwyn we work closely with partners such as the North Wales Fire and Rescue Service. On each occasion, fires were extinguished by the time the fire service arrived to the prison.

The number of occasions the North Wales Fire and Rescue Service have been called to HMP Berwyn each year can be found in the table below:
