Ecuador is experiencing devastating forest fires. According
to news reports and anti-disaster officials, there have been 3069 forest fires
since June 1, when a period of drought set in. The fires have wiped out 17,484
hectares of woods and scrubland high in the Andes as well as 142 hectares of
crops, while another 31 hectares of crops were affected but not completely
destroyed.
At this reservoir in Cumbaya, Quito, water bombers fill up
for their seemingly unending task.
