Just updating from my March file pictures...
Over 2 weeks ago I saw fire and smoke rising from the forest near by new home at Sungai Buaya, Rawang.
It was quite a sight...
There was a fire engine close by. It seems the firemen were monitoring the spread. As long as it does not reach the wires then it is considered under control.
Nine days later I saw a much bigger and heavier smoke rising up from a further part of the forest.
As I approached for a closer look I noticed some of the forest along the way had already been burned.
This time I could see no fire engine.
Forest fire was quite alien to Malaysia until an unusual dry season hit us over the last two months. Since then it has been such a normal occurence that I think firemen have trouble keeping up.
Luckily the fire tend to die out after some distance. While whole forest has been cleared up here and there so far there has been no report of human casualty or significant destruction of property.
