Let's hope the fires don't end up as bad as last summer. I wonder how many years it takes for them to recover...
I probably should have posted this sooner, but the Protezione Civile of Sulmona organised a fundraiser walk in the Riserva Genzana last weekend. A good time was had by all, and my blisters have just about recovered...!
They really are very brave both the helicopter pilots and the Canadair (fixed wing CL-415) pilot. Last year one of the Canadair pilots was killed when he crashed in L'Aquila province.
We even had a few Chinooks bringing water to the fires last year and they seem to have dealt with them very effectively.
