It's that time of the year again

where the fire season starts. There is a fire burning since Tuesday which is out of control on the mountains. Due to heavy winds, it is not possible to put out by water bombing. Hundreds of firefighters are battling the blaze. Just praying that they all stay safe and that the animals find a way to escape.
