Forest Fire!!!!!

We are all pretty well aware of the increasing PSI and hotspot in the region. The main culprit, Indonesia. But Singapore is not helping either.

This evening I alighted from the bus after school and to my surprised, a forest fire here on home soil. I was pretty much taken aback. 1stly I have never seen a forest fire and 2ndly it was in Singapore. All I could do it call 995.

And within 5 mins they had arrived and took 30min+ to get the blaze under control. The blaze was really spreading fast. It engulfed trees instantly and at one point the flames were as high as 8 to 10m. A small crowd had gathered. It was then i over heard something dam funny. 2 Indonesian maids were talking, and it was hilarous. "My boss tell me everytime Indoneisa got fire fire Singapore got haze. All Indonesia fault. Now i can tell boss Singapore also got forest fire. So now Indonesia and Singapore same same." When i heard it i could not stop giggling. haha. Then about 20mins later, she was like "oh my god, boss coming in 10 mins i need to cook, oh no boss going to scold." hahaha

The firemen did their job while I walked the next street back home. While walking it was raining ashes. It was like snow, black snow. And you could smell the burnt stench very well. What a cool or rather hot end to the 1st day of the week.
