fire in the souk

We've had a string of 110 degree days. It rarely rains here, and you can often smell the piles of burning trash.  This is a very nice recipe for accidental fires.  Was witness to one a couple days ago, walking to the countryside outside of my town- a hillside of grass/hay was burning and a number of men were using jackets and what looked like burlap sacks to try and put it out.  Today, there was a much bigger one in the souk a block away.  Luckily the wind was moving in the opposite direction.  This first picture is totally unrelated to that.
