Fire

wow thats so sad

Yes, the man has been arrested, it think it is better for him, seeing as the local newspaper published his photo, full name, and address on the front page.

Good news, the fires are small and "controlled", the temperature is a lot cooler (only mid 30s as opposed to 48), and the winds have dropped. :D

Good news...I hope the fires are gone soon.

I would guess the firestarter did this in a moment of rage, on impulse...and didn't think it would get this bad. Just plain didn't think, literally.

Prayers for everyone and their critters, that they survived and can set up house somewhere, somehow.

Oh my god.
All of thoes animals and birds...
All of the palm trees...
...gone.:(

I am so sorry! I read all this and heard about Palmito's Park. I know Tenerife a little better and your islands are such a haven of nature!
And it's all started by humans!
I keep my fingers crossed for you.
