so i live in central Portugal, and at the moment in my area there are a lot of huge wildfires in many town and villages. Were talking biiig ones, with thousands of firefighters trying to put them out.

Im scared for my home, my families home (we live close) my animals, everything. There have always been fires every summer over here because of the heat, but never as bad as this. Currently theres one blazing just an 8 minute drive from me. And im also scared one will pick up near where my horses are, which is a 20min drive away, so im scared i wont know whats going on there seeing as its not close. Every night i go to sleep with a list in my mind of what essentials i want to take from my place in case of a fire. Every half hour i check fire maps and websites to be sure there isnt one around my horses.

Fucking terrified.

pray for me my dudes

Hope you're ok olive, we love you! <333

praying for you and your animals and loved ones, natural disasters are so so scary

sending many hugs love

thanks babes <333

luckily they have just caught this crazy fucking phsyco dude that was apparently setting off a ton of the fires in my area, so hopefully they die down. Although that doesnt stop fires occuring naturally, like when people leave smashed glass on the ground, or lighters, or stupid things like petrol cans.

oh damn. 2018-2020 in Aus was like this. we had a about 100 homes being burnt down every day and there was a big fire that friends who live 10 minutes away had to evacuate for. I could see the flames every night for 5 days before they finally got it with fire breaks. I hope your ok <3

California in the US gets a lot of wildfires per year, as does Montanna, Colorado, and Wyoming. And this year it's pretty bad again. A lot of our fires are due to lightning strikes during storms, but we do have a lot of assholes who toss out lit cig butts, or don't put out thier campfires properly.
