Fire

Yesterday afternoon, just before 1pm, the local forest caught fire, and even though its on the other side of the small village I live in, the smoke was billowing across the sky and we couldnt see to the end of the street. The street at the end of my road has been closed off by the police and the atmosphere when you go outside is so thick it hurts your eyes. And I wont start on the smell. Praying the 150 firemen and women can stop the flames- its a little frightening really, just how close it is.

there is a fire engine here, just covered up so much by the smoke

More than 24 hours later and its still going.
