please be careful out there, we had a narrow escape in karaman last night due to a fire starting just lower then the village tip, lucky the fire brigade got things under control before the wind got up and spread it

Its terrible - thank god the wind blew the other way....shame about all the tortoise's that perished...

There is another fire reported on FB in Kapouti (Morphou) but is under control. Its rumoured Anastasiadis has refused help from our side....

I believe the fire is now under control (out). It started in a picnic area near Kalkanli and destroyed between 1500 and 2000 donums. I don't see what Anastasiades has to do with it though.

It started just in front of Kismet. We saw it begin from here on Carob Way! Too close for comfort for sure!
