As you say, there are so many victims of these crimes, and none of them deserve it. All because some idiot thought it would be funny, or cool! <br />I am glad to see that the fires are now contained and wish you all the best in the recovery.Maxihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13881927674109243192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7872436458316103784.post-19015667709200846132012-07-18T18:18:51.499+01:002012-07-18T18:18:51.499+01:00Thank you all for your concern.

Let's hope we don't get a flare-up overnight.liz younghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16289501717229347872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7872436458316103784.post-41625869755338829582012-07-18T15:10:25.493+01:002012-07-18T15:10:25.493+01:00This is so awful, Lizy.

Surely they realise how quickly the fire will spread. I hope the fire is controlled soon, and that no human lives are lost - too late for the poor wildlife...Annalisa Crawfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14943610814274794998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7872436458316103784.post-70833946479221540472012-07-18T03:41:37.549+01:002012-07-18T03:41:37.549+01:00I agree with you about arsonists!

I am so sorry to hear of your own experiences.Susan Kanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09834094675218254410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7872436458316103784.post-84778164713238764142012-07-17T23:24:54.551+01:002012-07-17T23:24:54.551+01:00Greece also has her share of fires.

Most of the time, they are started by arsonists - but it's more 'sinister' there: usually it's by corporations that want to build on land because there is a law that says you cannot build on protected or forested land, but if said land catches on fire or is destroyed by 'natural causes,' then building work is ok.<br /><br />Most things are never as strightforward as they seem, and most things have the 'bigger guys' behind them.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08896832888635376002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7872436458316103784.post-75815919992059223662012-07-17T22:06:44.124+01:002012-07-17T22:06:44.124+01:00We here in the US are having our battles with wild...We here in the US are having our battles with wildfires as well, some from arson, some from natural causes.<br /><br />I used to live in Colorado Springs and still have famil4 & friends there. Over 330 homes were wiped out and over 10,000 people are looking for alternative housing.<br /><br />Not to mention the firefighters and volunteers that are put at risk fighting these...my husband is a regular firefighter, not a wildfire one but we understand a lot of what they are dealing with.Donna B.
