Attending The Hill Fire

Hill fires are a big problem in the South Wales Valleys around this time of year, and on Saturday evening the hill behind our house caught fire. Whether it was deliberate or not, I don't know.

From our attic, I was able to snag this shot through the smoke of the fire engine that came to put out the fire before it threatened local houses and the power grid.
