THE ALPUJARRAS ON FIRE

Postby patricia » Sun Sep 25, 2005 8:31 pm

I was dismayed on Friday morning to see the Alpujarras on fire and when I passed and still in fire at 5pm on the way back. Dreadful so much damage, crops gone and rare flora burnt and many animals trapped in the fire and killed. It was started by a Brit from Essex out walking behind Lanjaron who lost his way and lit a fire as a beacon! well it worked he and his girlfriend were rescued, but 2,200 hectors have been burnt to a cinder :cry: :cry:

Presumably the idiot has been charged and will face a stiff penalty.

Bit risky for him, those shell suits are highly flammable.

Great. Let's hope he can find his way out of Stansted Airport without setting fire to anything.
