Last night I commuted down to KB for a work thing and saw bushfires that simply did not want to put out.
It was so hazy and foggy and smelled like scorched earth.
And at night on my way back, the forest glowed amber.
I shared this with a whatsapp group and they shared the many firemen deployed daily to extinguish the fires. Some have to be sent to hospitals for treatment for vision loss, difficulty breathing as they were overwhelmed by the sheer strength of the forest fires.
Anyway, just wanted to record my feelings- scared.
