BUSH FIRES

We are at risk with the nearby fires. 
It was supposed to be a controlled burn off that is now out of control.
There are many trucks helping, choppers dropping water and roads blocked off.
High alert notifications, schools evacuated. 
And very high winds.
Fingers crossed for everyone during the next 24 hours or more..






These photos are taken from my house...

Oh Jo, this is very frightening, too close for comfort. Hope all will be controlled today. There are always quite a few fires over Spain each year, destroying acres of land and unfortunately mostly started by careless people
