Tenerife fires

Normally nice and quiet up here in the Tenerife mountains, but not during the last few days. Due to the mountain fires behind us the skies have been awash with helicopters and hydro planes on constant rotation trying to quell the flames.
Every five minutes I get a nice refreshing shower courtesy of the spillage from the underhanging buckets. Not much chance to get any writing done with all the excitement, but hats off to Tenerife’s firemen (mostly volunteers) who have worked day and night to get the situation under control. Thankfully they now seem to be winning.
This is a little video taken from my garden showing the helicopters queueing up to dip in a water tank on the other side of the barranco.
