Fire in Balaju



The day after Holi, I wanted to go to the siming pool. The kids had to study for the finel exams, so I decided not to take them with me. But when I arrived to the door of the park in which is the simming pool, I was told that because of the winter season the swimming pool is closed. I'm dying due to the heat, but is winter season. I thought in go inside the park, to do trekking, but and the end I decided to go to the orphanage to spent the day helping the children to study and play.
As soon as I arrived to the orphanage a fire started in the mountains. I took my camera and I got close to it, to take better pictures and help if it was posible.
Because of the dry season, the fire was advancing quickly, but because of its speed it didn't have time to burn the threes, just small bushes that were totally burn in minutes.
To extinguish the fire, the army and the villagers were taking fress branches from the trees, get close to the fire and try to extinguish it by hitting and leaving it wihtout oxygen. The true is that didn't work to much. the fire was running all around the mountain totally free. We were just going back and back azs the fire was advancing. After two or three hours, the people was tired and they started to coma back to their houses leaving the army alone. I also did it. When the night came, the fire was still burnning the mountain and was really to see it like a line of fire from the top to the down of the mountain, "walking" from south to north.
