We have friends in Tasmania, so we heard their sad stories about the fires. <br /><br />Perhaps you already know, but our Florida has a worrisome fire season as well. Coming from a part of North Carolina that much resembles a wet England, we had no idea the our part of Florida might be dry from the first in December until June. Back then, there wasn't as much demand for water. Most years we get a bit of sustaining rain, but I dread the problems if we have another such winter as our first one here. Our country road has no water hydrants, so we dug a small pond, not only to use the fill for our house foundation, but as help against fires in winter. Sometimes the pond almost evaporates, so it would actually be little help. <br /><br />Recently I read that, in times past, fully 1/5 of Florida burned every year. The flames only stopping when they encountered a river or shoreline to the Gulf. I can't imagine the air pollution that would cause; makes burning of the sugar cane fields seem small in comparison. <br /><br />Thanks again for giving me a view of your part of the world.
