Mae’r cymunedau sy’n dioddef oherwydd hyn yn ddig – mae  hawl ganddynt fod, ac maent eisiau gweld camau’n cael eu cymryd. Mae llawer o bobl wedi dechrau gwirfoddoli i helpu’r gwasanaeth tân ar lefel gymunedol. Mae atal y bygythiad hwn yn llawer mwy na dim ond diffodd tanau neu erlyn troseddwyr. Mae’n galw am weithredu cadarn ar lefel gymunedol i annog pobl i beidio â chychwyn tanau, ac adnabod ac enwi’r rhai sy’n gwneud hynny. Mae pryder amlwg ymysg y cyhoedd. Gwnaed 170 o alwadau 999 gwahanol ynglŷn â’r un tân mynydd ger Caerffili. Mewn achos arall, tynnodd pobl luniau’r rheini oedd yn ceisio cychwyn tân ger Cwm Clydach, ac mae’r Heddlu wedi cael y lluniau hyn. Mae angen i ni adeiladu ar hyn a sicrhau bod dinasyddion, grwpiau a sefydliadau’n rhan o ffordd gydlynus ac effeithiol o ddatrys y broblem.
Members of the communities affected are rightly angry and want action taken. Many have also come forward to volunteer their support for the fire service at a community level. Tackling this menace must mean much more than just fighting fires or prosecuting offenders.  It needs robust action at the community level to divert people away from setting fires, and to identify and expose those who do.   The public concern is already clear. There were 170 separate 999 calls about the same mountain fire near Caerphilly.  Others took photos of those trying to start a fire near Clydach Vale, which have been passed to the Police.  We need to build on that and ensure that all concerned citizens, groups and organisations are part of a coherent and effective solution.
