Title: Fires in Asturias
Post by Ritaratbag on Dec 20^th, 2015 at 5:38pm

Terrible fires are burning in parts of Asturias.
Entire villages and towns have been evacuated.
Some motorways are closed, also the railway.

Sad news, as a helicopter pilot has died there today.
One hundred fires are burning, and spreading to
Cantabria

Very sad to hear that news, Rita

These people put their lives on the line for US.

There are many organisations in the UK who carry out dangerous work like this such as Lifeboat Institute charity which costs around £385,000 PER DAY. Also teams like Mountain Rescue. I could go on. These people also put their lives on the line for US.

Rita, do you know of such organisations here in Spain that operate like charities in UK and which could do with our help, support and funding?

Thanks,
Simon
