Good to hear the fires are under control. Did they destroy many structures, or were they mostly rural? Fires are so destructive. I hope the rain helped clear the air of some of the smoke and debris, too.
A few years ago, there was a huge wildfire in northern Minnesota. They could smell the smoke hundreds of miles away in Chicago.
It is good news @fotosdenada I know homes were destroyed but am not sure how many. I do know that over one million hectares was burnt in Queensland which is a huge area and most of it was rural, but many rely on the land to make a living so it has been devastating for them........especially so close to Christmas.
