Zambia - Large Bush Fire

July 3, 2006 a large fire was set by a maize thief and gusty south winds blew the fire up into a firestorm on the southern edge of the village I lived in (Kantende). There was a house in the fire’s path and, as it turns out, the occupants were home as the fire approached. You can here my stupid voice as us bystanders thought the thatch roof would catch fire… why it did not, I’ll never…
