I wouldn’t call 200 homes “dozens”...

Pray for those people. How awful. I too live in an area that go up in flames. Not much you can do beyond keeping brush away from the house.

Oops... Make that: "... in an area that can go up in flames."

Not much you can do

Editors; I hope Canadians noticed the tremendous work of the IL-76 waterbomber in Bulgaria, Montenegro, and Serbia. Then again, we don't get news feeds from those areas of the world too often so it's likely to go un-noticed unless some worthy reporter picks up on the fact the Russians have worked these areas (and Greece) over with their mighty aerial firefighting forces; forces unmatched by any in the world and which we apparently cannot have.

Sincerely;
