Bosque de la Primavera Forest Fire
It's not uncommon for there to be fires during the months of February-March in Bosque de la Primavera in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico. The reason for these fires is that the area is very dry and any spark of any kind can develop into full-on fires. There were a couple around Guadalajara this year. This was one of them. The cause for this one was that people were working on a balcony right next to the mountain, and a spark flew into the dry grass right beside it, and it made this whole mess.
Fortunately, last I heard no one was hurt, and the firefighting department was hard at work putting the fire out. You can see a helicopter in some of these photos bringing water to the fire.
This specific fire was in March, but I'm sharing it now to include it in the Flickr Social Elements pool.
