gerlos No, they couldn't. After 24h, it's still burning. :-(
That's because those criminals started it at night, when helicopters and planes can't fly to pour water from above, and on a very steep side of the mountain, where it's very difficult to fight against the fire.
Ash from that fire covered all the town, and arrived even at my house, which is 12 km away. :-(
Magda G I'm so sorry! I know that it won't change much of what already happened but I hope they will catch those criminals and try them.
Magda G I hope the firefighters managed to contain it fast!
