[QUOTE="Old McDonald, post: 4193734, member: 47276"] For the past couple of days I have been receiving soil carbon in possibly the worst way. Wildfires have been burning on three sides of us (not really close, so no danger) for several days. It was white ash to begin with, but since yesterday afternoon it has been raining black cornflakes as my son named them. Enormous quantities of charcoal. Not quite totally covering the ground, but not far off. The interesting thing is that most of yesterday afternoon's was made up of Acacia seed pods. this morning it was pine needles, bark and the occasional Eucalyptus leaf. Interesting, as I said, but not pleasant for those affected and burnt out. The week-end before last I saw a report that there had been 231 fires in Portugal on the Saturday and 220 on the Sunday. Many are easily extinguished, but not all. There were six fixed wing aeroplanes and several helicopters water bombing the one closest to us today. Numerous men and women on the ground too, of course. Fortunately I have not heard of any firefighter being killed, but several have been injured. Numerous people have been arrested for deliberately starting fires. [/QUOTE]
