Fire at derelict Greenfield care home confirmed as arson

A fire that broke out at a derelict care home in Greenfield last night has been confirmed as a case of arson, according to North Wales Fire and Rescue Service.

The blaze, which started at around 6.05pm on Sunday evening, led to the closure of the A548 Mostyn Road for several hours as six fire engines and an aerial ladder platform worked to extinguish the flames.

Fire crews from Deeside Holywell, Flint, St Asaph and Rhyl attended the scene.

The fire was brought under control and fully extinguished by 12.30am this morning.

No injuries were reported in the incident, although the extent of the damage to the building remains unclear.

The fire is understood to have occurred at the former Morfa Newydd care home, according to social media reports.

A spokesperson for North Wales Fire and Rescue Service confirmed to North Wales Live: “We sent six fire engines and an aerial ladder platform to the scene, which involved a derelict care home. The cause of the fire was deliberate ignition.”
