I am In the area, and last night the power was off and on. As it happened, during an off time...everything dark, I happened too look out and said fire on the mountain..we were concerned as to whom might be in the path of the fire...given the wind. This fire came almost to the Bocar I want to say to all those firefighters that worked overnight a BIG THANK YOU.
Well done to all the firefighters and all others involved in this fire.
So sAd to read about the fires in the Pollenca area. My thoughts are with the local residents.
