Burnt Reserve

This is what happens when the local fire brigade decide to do a cleanup of what they consider a fire hazard. They burnt off the long dry grass in Tregear Reserve, in itself not a huge problem, except they never control it properly - all the trees in the long grass area ended up on fire too. I don't think the trees were a fire hazard. I'm not even sure the long grass is, especially as that is where all the new tree saplings are, but when our local pyromaniacs are in full swing they do burn the grass. Funny enough there hasn't been any pyromania in the reserve for ages. My cynical side says maybe there wasn't enough work for the local fireies and maybe they were missing their regular hit of flames....
