i did see some articles about forest fires in southern europe
I was on holiday in Keffalonia, on its south coast, for the last two weeks, and we could see a massive forest fire on Zakynthos to the south, on Tuesday last week.
It was bright red and lit up its own smoke in a deep orange, which started to cover the south of the island.
Apparently it happens almost every year, unsurprisingly perhaps, as it gets so hot and dry. For my second week it was regularly hitting 35C.
It was pretty cool seeing the twinkling lights of fire-engines travelling across the island and all these little boats in the distance from Keffalonia and the mainland making a beeline to Zante to bring men and supplies.
That's the first forest fire I've ever seen.
