A couple of years ago we were sitting outside by the ocean when we started to smell smoke. Within a few minutes a Canadair plane flew overhead and we knew we were in trouble. We're so grateful for those planes and the hundreds of firefighters who arrived from all over the Pacific Northwest. The island was tinder-dry and we could have lost everything - luckily the wind changed direction just in time. Thanks for the dramatic photos. I live on a small island in British Columbia.

I can remember the sounds of the Canadair flying over our house like it was yesterday. As a kid I was fascinated by them...not in a morbid way but as a "look at the water belly plane!" way. Anyways....beautiful pictures! I grew up outside of Aix En Provence, at the foot of the Saint Victoire, that Cezanne painted on fire so many times.

But I didn't know the fires had resumed this year. I was in the Gargano region last year just after the fires and my trip pictures show a gorgeous sea surrounded in part by brown forests — very sad.
