The flames have now reached the very street I live on, where at about 9pm I smelt the smoke (a smell we’ve got used to this summer) and looked out of the window to see (1).
After the neighbours had called the fire brigade I set off to see this conflagration right outside a house (thankfully the house itself wasn’t burned and its residents weren’t hurt).
The extinguishing of the fire brought even more smoke (9 is the smoke drifting towards where I live and it got in my eyes on the approach) and (10) is the damage this morning, which thankfully wasn’t as bad as it might have been through the fire brigade’s efforts, though it’s still a distressing and infuriating thing to have to see.
