Activities
- The fire still here. There is a lot of wildfires over the year, the firefighters manage to turn off the fire before it goes out of control. Sadly, in some cases, the human work is not enough and we are at the mercy of the nature. Some days ago a wildfire was started and the firefighters start to do their work. The luck was not on their side this time, with 4 months without rain, winds of 70 and 90km/h, a forest with fallen pines from a recent tornado and idiots making more fires in different locations, you can't fight against that. The result is simple, an unstopable wildfire that burn some like 20000 hectares (up to now) and dozens of small fires around the state. Up to 30 homes burned to ashes and 600 people evacuated (the pictures are not taken by me)
September 11, 201370 - Wild fires season Forest fires Here in the sierras we have no rain over the winter, and sadly every year we confront forest fires. This last weeks we have one fire after another, in some cases more than one at the same time. Despite the firemans have hydrant planes that support them, they do almost all the work by hand. I admire them, they are voluntary fireman and they do a great job by nothing. They have a hard and risky work when they are moving over the rocks on the hills fighting the fires with only a piece of leather or a shovel. Of course they have more tools like maybe a chainsaw, but an interesting tool that they use on lower fires is a stick with a piece of leather to hit the fire and turn it off. The picture is a view from home right now, the base of the smoke is at least 20km wide
September 8, 201320 - Childrens Day Today in some countries is the "Childrens Day", at Paraguay this day is different. Today is remembered the last battle of the "War of the Triple Alliance". Paraguay was an advanced and highly independent country, with foundries, trains, moderns hospitals and the highest income by person of the zone. Paraguay was a "bad" example for the region, so "mysteriously" between 1864 and 1870 Argentina, Brasil and Uruguay start a 6 years war sponsored by the British Empire. Argentina, Brasil and Uruguay sponsored by the British Empire agains 1 country. Took to this alliance 6 years to almost extermine all the paraguayan population. In the last battle, 20.000 brasilean soldiers plus argentinian soldiers fought 8 hours against 3.500 paraguayan children from 6 to 14 years old. The battle ended with 2000 childrens dead and only 46 loss on the brasilian troops. The war ended because almost all male population was exterminated. 160 years later, you can walk through paraguay and see some signs of the previous golden age.
