A large fire broke out this afternoon very near to the Shell petrol station, next to HSBC and The Pearl in the World traffic island. Everyone was concerned that if the fire spread, then the petrol station would explode, and that would have blown mine and everyone elses arses off without even breaking wind. Fortunately, a couple of helicoptors were swiftly scrambled and they dropped their water buckets into the sea near Marmaris Marina (hope no one's askim was having a quick dip and got scooped up into the bucket). Seriously, I did hear when I was in South Africa, Durban, that this DID happen to someone who was swimming quite a way out from shore, and the mans body was dropped directly into the fire. How awful! Anyway the fire was swiftly put under control. What with Whales being beached and then a fire near the petrol station, it has been quite an eventful afternoon. Wonder what is going to happen tonight? I will update you all soon.
