A spokesperson said: "Some panicked when they saw us and one of them put their disposable BBQ in the bin which then went on fire.
"Colleagues from the North Wales Fire and Rescue Service attended and put the fire out. Thankfully the grass did not catch fire as the wind was blowing in the other direction, however this could have easily escalated.
"Keep the BBQ's for your back garden."
