Hell fire in Portugal
My heart goes out to all the people and fireman fighting the fires.
I hope they can control the fires soon!
57 people already died in the fire. 59 injured.

Agreed. An almost inhuman task for fire fighters and other helpers.
That is ONE more reason to keep the Paris Climate Agreement going and make its rules more strict in stead of turn your head away...

We well know about these rampaging bush fires over here. With all the eucalypti and their oils forests go up like a bomb. The fire races through the tops and drops burning bark that starts the undergrowth burning.
Firefighters just can't keep up. Lots of people die when these fires come from all directions.
So yes my heart does go out to those in Portugal, I hope the temperatures drop and the rain starts falling.
I have been watching the news about the Portugal bush fires. In my humble opinion, evacuation warnings and measures weren't in place. These surely need to be spelled out.
We all have bush fire plans on how to act if fires start approaching. Our rural fire brigades give plenty of warning by driving through areas potentially 'under fire', honking and with sirens blowing.
By the line-up of burnt out cars it looks like this didn't happen. One can only hope the authorities learn from this.

Oh, my God, I'm so sad to hear this news. :(
As we speak, 61 have died, and the fire is still spreading
