Forest fires are scary, because they are so fast. People get trapped sometimes.

It's sad, especially because Leiria is a very beautiful and scenic part of Europe.

Our Goan Indian origin Prime-Minister wanted in 2015 the Syrian refugees to clean up the our forests .

Fuck. Strong winds and extremely dry vegetation made the fire spread very fast and caught these people by surprise, nothing anyone could do.

I visited Portugal briefly back in January and really enjoyed my stay. Remember riding a train through the Algarve and how dry the countryside looked. I bet fire just rips through that terrain like dry tinder. Best wishes from burgerstan

I'm rooting for you guys. Just 2 more to go.
