Heddiw, cyhoeddodd Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet y bydd y tri Awdurdod Tân ac Achub yng Nghymru yn cael £1,424,000, er mwyn parhau â'u rhaglenni ar gyfer gostwng nifer y tanau bwriadol, ymgysylltu â phobl ifanc, a phrynu offer diogelwch i'r cartref.

Dywedodd: 


> “Mae ein Gwasanaethau Tân ac Achub yn gweithio'n hynod o galed i'n cadw ni'n ddiogel ac i'n haddysgu am y peryglon sy'n gysylltiedig â thân. Fodd bynnag, mae hefyd lawer o beryglon eraill i ddiogelwch pobl heblaw am beryglon tân, ac mae'r gostyngiad yn nifer yr achosion o dân yn golygu y gall Awdurdodau Tân ac Achub chwarae mwy o rôl yn y gwaith o geisio lleihau'r peryglon hynny hefyd.
> 
> “Mae pawb yn cytuno bod atal tanau rhag digwydd yn y lle cyntaf yn well o lawer nag ymateb iddyn nhw. Dyma nod y rhaglenni hyn. Mae rhai ohonynt yn addysgu pobl ifanc am y peryglon sy'n gysylltiedig â thanau a chynnau tanau, gan helpu i’w hatal rhag troseddu a chyflawni drwgweithredoedd eraill sy'n ymwneud â thân. Mae rhaglenni eraill yn helpu i gadw ein dinasyddion mwyaf agored i niwed yn ddiogel rhag tân a pheryglon eraill yn eu cartrefi, fel codymau a diogelwch trydanol.”

Un o'r rhaglenni a fydd yn derbyn cyllid yw Dawns Glaw. Nod y rhaglen hwnnw ydy i addysgu aelodau'r cyhoedd a thirfeddianwyr am beryglon ac effeithiau cynnau tân yn fwriadol, ac mae'n codi ymwybyddiaeth am ganlyniadau cynnau tanau glaswellt yn fwriadol, sef rhywbeth a all arwain at erlyn y troseddwr.

Cafodd Dawns Glaw ei sefydlu yn 2015, ac mae'n cynnwys cynrychiolwyr o Lywodraeth Cymru, yr Awdurdodau Tân ac Achub, Gwasanaethau'r Heddlu, yr Awdurdodau Lleol, y Swyddfa Dywydd, Cyfoeth Naturiol Cymru, Clybiau Ffermwyr Ifanc, Crimestoppers ac eraill. Bu gostyngiad o 50% yn nifer y tanau glaswellt yng Nghymru yn ystod y ddwy flynedd diwethaf a gostyngiad o dros 1000 o’r nifer o ddigwyddiadau a fynychwyd gan Wasanaethau Tan ac Achub o ganlyniad i weithio mewn modd amlasiantaethol fel hyn. Mae gwaith yr asiantaethau gyda phobl ifanc sydd mewn perygl o droseddu wedi llwyddo i sicrhau newidiadau mawr mewn ymddygiad, ac nid oes ond nifer bach o achosion o aildroseddu \- enghraifft gadarnhaol o effaith hirdymor gwaith ataliol o’r fath.

Dywedodd Cadeirydd tasglu Dawns Glaw, Mydrian Harries: 


> “Mae tanau glaswellt bwriadol yn peryglu bywydau. Os yw’r Gwasanaeth Tân ac Achub yn brysur yn diffodd tân bwriadol, gall hynny arwain at oedi cyn ymateb i argyfwng go\-iawn sy’n peryglu bywyd fel tân mewn tŷ neu ddamwain ffordd. Mae tanau glaswellt bwriadol hefyd yn niweidio cefn gwlad a’n hamgylchedd, peryglu bywyd gwyllt a da byw, ac yn costio miliynau o bunnoedd i economi Cymru bob blwyddyn.
> 
> “Mae rhan gan bob un ohonom rôl i’w chwarae i leihau a dileu achosion o danau glaswellt bwriadol yng Nghymru. Rwy’n apelio ar i’r cyhoedd fod yn wyliadwrus a’n helpu ni i amddiffyn ein cymunedau a chefn gwlad drwy dynnu sylw’r Heddlu at unrhyw ymddygiad amheus ar unwaith.”

Mae'r cyllid hwn hefyd yn caniatáu i'r Awdurdodau Tân ac Achub gynnal archwiliadau o gartrefi pobl i wneud yn siŵr eu bod yn ddiogel. Darperir larymau mwg neu ddillad gwely nad yw’n mynd ar dân yn hawdd am ddim os bydd angen. Mae'r Awdurdodau Tân ac Achub yn cynnal oddeutu 50,000 o archwiliadau o'r fath bob blwyddyn, gan ganolbwyntio ar y bobl sydd yn y perygl mwyaf, megis pobl hŷn neu fregus, pobl ag anableddau, smygwyr a rhieni sengl.

The Cabinet Secretary has today announced, that the three FRAs in Wales are to receive £1,424,000 to continue to support their arson reduction and youth engagement schemes, as well as for the purchase of home safety equipment.


He said:



> “Our Fire and Rescue Services work incredibly hard to keep us safe and educate us about the threat fire poses. There are, however, many other risks to people’s safety besides fire; and the decline in the incidence of fire means FRAs can play an increasing role in addressing those too.



> “Everyone agrees that preventing fires from happening in the first place is much better than responding to them. That is what these programmes aim to do. Some of them alert young people to the dangers of fire and fire\-setting and divert them away from fire\-related crime and other offending. Others help to keep our most vulnerable citizens safe from fire and other hazards in their homes, such as falls and electrical safety.”


One of the schemes to be funded is Operation Dawns Glaw. This aims to educate the public and landowners, about the dangers and impact of deliberate fire\-setting and raises awareness about the consequences of deliberate grass fires, which can result in prosecution.


Dawns Glaw was established in 2015 and includes representatives of Welsh Government, FRAs, Police Services, Local Authorities, Met Office, Natural Resources Wales, Young Farmers Clubs, Crimestoppers and others. Multi\-agency work like this has led to a reduction of 50% in grass fires in Wales over the past two years and a reduction of over 1,000 in the number of attendances made by the Fire \& Rescue Services. Their interventions with young people at risk of offending has showed to consistently achieve exceptional levels of behaviour change and minimal reoffending rates, a positive example of how engagement through prevention has a long lasting effect.


Mydrian Harries, Chair of the Dawns Glaw taskforce said: 



> “Deliberate grass fires endanger lives. If the Fire and Rescue Service are tied up tackling a deliberately set grass fire it can result in a delayed response to a life\-threatening emergency, such as a house fire or road traffic collision. Deliberately set grass fires also severely damage our countryside and our environment, pose a threat to wildlife and livestock, and costs the Welsh economy millions of pounds each year.
> 
> 
> “We all have a part to play to reduce and eliminate deliberately lit grass fires in Wales. I would appeal to the public to remain vigilant and help us protect our communities and our countryside, by reporting any suspicious activity immediately to the Police.”


This additional funding also allows FRAs to provide free “Safe and Well” visits to check the safety of people’s homes, including the free provision of items such as smoke alarms and flame\-retardant bedding. Around 50,000 such checks are carried out each year, focusing on those most at risk of fire such as frail, or elderly people, people with disabilities, smokers and single parents.
