Makes you really angry when people like ourselves get a burning licence, and abide by the rules, while others, including some of our neighbours, are constantly having fires. Even now they are having them, after the licence has finished, and also on Fiesta Days and weekends when they shouldn't be. I don't think they see any danger in anything!

Just wanted to point out that licences in the Roquetes area were extended to 15th June ie yesterday so if you have seen anyone (like us) having a fire in that area recently it wouldn't have been illegal.  We burn very safely and only when there is no or very little wind.  If everyone left their olive prunings on their fincas over the Summer rather than burning them off I think that there would be an even bigger risk of fire from all the bone dry leaves and branches.

Anyway, the good news is that the fire is now under control and the bombers have done yet another good job.  Let's just all be as vigilant as possible over the coming weeks.
