    @Sheal I presume they put a firebreak in around the fire so it will burn out eventually anyway.

            If you were seeing multicoloured peacocks or flocks of pink flamingos, it would be cause for concern, @NigelJ. :biggrin:

                      It just depends how you look at these things.

                        Indeed!

                        @shiney, there's probably an ointment to help with such an affliction. ;)

                            Canadian wildfires are huge but they have mutual aid agreements with several nations to share resources in such times. Countries helping include Australia, New Zealand, Mexico, South Africa, France, Portugal, Spain, Brazil.

                            The USA, its nearest neigbour, has sent 200 firefighters to help in Alberta and Saskatchewan.

                            Meanwhile, Trump sent US troops to calm "riots" in California where no-one died but has sent ZERO troops to Texas where 200+ people are dead or missing thanks to a lack of warning about the floods. The governor, who closed down the weather warning system, is on holiday in Greece.
