Fires

Looking at the sky and can smell smoke checked Greek news the forest in marmaris turkey is on fire. Not good for turkey.

It happened last year around the same time four people died and a few made homeless . Were already on amber alert here . Everywhere dry and it doesn't take much to start a blaze

[sassy59 in reply to Hidden]

Yes I remember you mentioning last year. Hope everyone will be ok 🤞🏼

[Hidden in reply to sassy59]

Well the news saying getting under control so . Just dreading if we get another bad one I'm surrounded by trees from mountains 😂 three sides the ones from Turkey are far enough away

Should be unless the wind picks up again . Xxx

Dreadful for the people and of course the animals, will not forget the pictures from last year of the koalas in Australia. On the lighter side, have a vision of you beetling to the sea, as did the residents of Pompeii.

[Hidden in reply to SORRELHIPPO]

Well the seas close by so I'm ok with that . I'm off to the beach tomorrow morning maybe have a swim

[Hidden in reply to Patk1]

All should be good

Not good for anyone with lung problems.Years ago would avoid travelling in Malaysia when Indonesian farmers did their slash and burn crop rotation.The air in Malaysia was unbreathable with schools shut etc.This is a wildfire and just as awful stay safe and keep out of the smoke!

[Hidden in reply to Cloudancer]

Clear skies this morning so the Turks got it under control thankfully.

[Alberta56]

I hope the Turks have done better this year. These wild fires are appalling. Stay safe as you can when there is smoke in the air. xxx

[Hidden in reply to Alberta56]

We had two bad ones here like the Turks in the same place as the last time . Sometimes it can be down to plain stupidity like chucking a ciggie out a car window or an empty glass bottle . And not always Turks doing it but tourists aswell

[dunnellon]

We had a huge fire in the midwest. It was blamed on a camper who burned his soiled toilet paper! 🤨

[Hidden in reply to dunnellon]

Highly flammable must have eaten something gassy 😂😂😂😂

[Mavary]

Let’s hope it doesn’t come your way.

[Hidden in reply to Mavary]

No chance of that o

[Ergendl]

Remember that happening when I stayed there in 2007 or so. The sky went dark and choky as we sailed back to Rhodes from Symi.

[Hidden in reply to Ergendl]

We had it worse last year from Turkey and it was same place
