I wasn't sure where to post this link that was sent to me by a MGS member here in Cyprus. It is relevant to us on the island at the moment as we have a fire in the Troodos massif that has been burning since the weekend despite the efforts of the local Fire Service, the Forestry Department Fire Service, helicopters from Cyprus and the British Bases and aircraft from France, Italy, Israel, Greece and offers of assistance from Turkey.
For those who may be interested the link is:- http://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-34116491.
