A crimson scene lit up the sky for miles as crews tackled the fires, one just before dawn and the second 12 hours later.
The first was dealt with the crews dividing themselves into two sectors between them to bring the blaze under control.
They remained there for almost five hours, using beaters and backpack blowers to extinguish the flames.
The evening fire (lead image) could be seen as far as parts of Llanelli with local residents of Three Crosses and Upper Killay concerned with the rapid spread of the blaze.
Road closures were put in place in the area at just before dusk as two fire units tackled the fire which the cause of has yet to be disclosed.
In a separate incident, crews were also called to a blaze near Pontardawe Road, in Ammanford where 15 hectares were on fire, but the blaze has since been put out.
