There is a "terrifying prospect" of more UK wildfires in future due to climate change and preparation will be "crucial", the Prince of Wales has said.

Visiting Treherbert in Rhondda Cynon Taf, which was threatened by a huge mountain fire in August, Prince William praised a "gargantuan" effort to save homes, land and lives.
