There is mostly where smoke exists, also a fire. However, this is a so-called European smoke tree so no fire in this case. It is their flowers and seeds that have this effect.

The last fire I remember in our town was when the senior home burnt. It is the sister home to where Mr. Swiss now is. They managed to get the seniors all out of the home in time and there were no serious injuries, just mainly shock. They transfered the seniors to the home where Mr. Swiss is or distributed them in other homes.

I spoke to some of the nurses afterwards and they told me that it was quite a shock and a few lost some of their possesions in the fire. This was a couple of years ago and gradually the home is being rebuilt, but just as a building. They are planning to build a new senior home on the ground next to where Mr. Swiss now is.
