Forest fires

The heat wave that my country is facing already has consequences, we are having forest fires and 4 firemen had already died. It is awful and honestly I don't believe the fires start naturally, it surely has criminal hands behind each start of fire. Now, more than ever we need rain, two days is enough to calm down these fires. Do you have fires in your country?

A few years ago we had the worst forest fire I had seen, due to a big drought plus some criminal hands that help them too. Many people and several countries had to help. Still there was a great damage.

I am so sorry, in the south of Italy I know there are fires right now. For the moment nothing here, but if it does not rain the risk is high.

@nela13 You are surely right, my father always told us to be responsible, but many parents do not educate their children. I am sure you do.

This hot is terrible for fires but I believe some are people that start it on purpose.

@LadyDuck it is exactly the same here, I think it has to do with people education.

I hope you are safe from the fires. It's very sad about the firemen. During the summer months, there are always fires in the U.S.

I think we have some fires raging currently in the western United States, but nothing close to where I live in the southeastern part of the country.

really terrible. I live in Indonesian and when the forest is on fire it is very scary and very difficult to extinguish if the burning land is very large. It's so annoying to hear people with their mischief cause fires.

Here some fires are also quite difficult to extinguish, depends on the area. I don't understand why people set fires on purpose.
