Flying operations were suspended and personnel and warstuff had to be evacuated as the fire approached the base dangerously.
In any case, it’s a very pretty picture.

Tuesday, August 23, 2011 at 8:30 PM“Mountain Home AFB is not in Singapore, it is in the USA” … Idaho in fact.
“A 3000 acre fire in Singapore would wipe out the entire microscopic country and then some” Whilst devastating it would not wipe out the country indeed would affect less than 2% of the countrie’s 171,500 acres.
