You should be reminded they extinguished the fires in France, while they're still lighting them in Brazil.

Terence Hill Thank you for the update and correction. Yes it is amazing what a good road network to supply the backup for the fire fighters and a population density of 119 per Km2 verses our population density of 24.66 per Km2. does make fire fighting easier.
The fact that there were 10,000 displaced voters should not be discounted either.
