In Tilling we were alerted to a mountain fire by the soundof 'planes apparently straffing us...
In fact it was planes that had sucked up water from the lake
at Montbel to be released on a fire above Antugnac.
All very impressive. Seven or eight 'planes plus fire engines
from as far Chalabre.
The photies were taken at close of day when the fire was nearly
over but concerns remained for the outbreaks at the edges and
fear of the roots continuing to burn unseen underground.
They are taken from the top of Mont Marot East- standing on the
path that leads to the chateau d'eau - by our top garden gate.
Scary - except that the emergency services were fabulous.
It was something of a theatre as many residents turned out with their kids to watch the show - how fortunate we are to have such guardians, we all agreed.
