We had bad situation for a fire today.
Outside where I work (about 20 metres away) a huge amount of large pine trees caught fire today.
Don't know how, till I asked some people. They said the heat allowed the power lines to expand and sag, thus touching the pine trees.
Must of got a little bit of an earth, because a Fire did start, but it just went out about 3 minutes later.
And the pine tree's are on council property, probably governed by the electricity company involved.
2 engines rolled up, to see nothing, as the fire went out a few minutes before, but the hazard was still there, so they hung around, but no flare ups. (phew).
