The huge wildfire on the western part of the island of Brač, currently under control, was a couple of miles away from our pojata but the scenery in our view was magnificent and terrifying at the same time, and the smoke in our nostrils has warned us about the reality of the scene. For three days and three nights, close to four hundred firefighters, supported from the air and sea, fought to protect several small towns and villages and to minimize the agricultural damage. Over four thousand hectares of pine forest, olive groves, and vineyards are scorched.
