This was a rather dramatic veld fire which threatened to get totally out of control. Firefighters used both fire engines as well as helicopters which scooped up water from a nearby dam in an effort to quell the flames.
Many thanks to all who commented/voted for my recent "Fishing Gannets" photo and especially to Niknut for his UA...was so thrilled!

Our mountains and forests burned down some months ago, so I can relate well to this pic 
A good grab shot, very newsy, we get heather fires like this in Scotland, they move with incredible speed.

Thanks for all your encouraging comments/votes. For those who were worried that I was very close to the fire, the wind had changed and it was blowing aaway from me ! In such a rural situation the methods of fire fighting might seem primitive to some, but it has to be viewed in a situation where access is difficult and resources are stetched. ann.
