'Twas hot and humid.
Strong northerly winds worried Jim. "Gunna be another bad day love," he announced. "I'll keep a look out."

Mid afternoon; flash, lightning cracked.

Within seconds sparks and flames raced along the dry undergrowth taking hold. 

White smoke alerted Jim, his heart now racing.

"Fire," he shouted.

Author Notes
Our weather here in Australia has been hot and humid and already we have had early fires threatning townships.

The awful recent fires in California a stark reminder of the ravishes of bush fires.
