Fire Island

It's getting dry here. Very dry.

There are grass/ground fires daily. This one was on the way home from work last week.
Combining a very dry, dry season with this heat and a systemic water shortage is creating problems. Forgive the pun but the water authority here is taking a lot of heat.

This afternoon, I could see these two fires near the apartment.

Some fires start with the flick of a cigarette and dont get put out, they just have to burn out....there isnt sufficient water to use on the fires.



This one got worse as the night wore on.
I think it started burning more than just grass.
