90 hectares destroyed by fire

During Saturday evening we had a huge fire on one of the nearby hillsides, the fire was thought to have started when an electricity pylon was brought down by very strong winds.

On Sunday morning helicopters were still going overhead with large containers full of water, trying to douse the flames.

In the second half of the video (2 days later) I tried to get closer to the burnt out hillside, but unfortunately could not get over the crest to take the video as it’s was inaccessible. It must have been very hard work for the fire men.
