It's so dry here in Dodoma now, that it doesn't take much to start a fire. Last Wednesday, over at the hangar one started. It started at the far side of the runway, but the wind caught it and it went quite far down. People here regularly burn all their rubbish (we often get smoked out of our own home - well, almost - plastic is terrible when it burns) as there's no where to put it, and you would have to pay someone to take it away for you.
Well, if you look at the above picture, the guys in the foreground are MAF workers, and they're standing just beyond the MAF apron. A good fire brings everyone out!
That was a lot of drama for one day - and the worry was that the wind would really catch hold of it and then it would get out of control. One of the two fire engines stays at the airport, and the other one comes from the town. Good to have them!
