Yikes, looks darned bad. But at least they've got those big red walls around them, so they've got that going for them.

...and that headline would've worked in either pun form..."grease fire" or "Greek fire".

Was there a thunderstorm before the fires took? Maybe they were lit by Greece lighting.

It's their own fault. Greek fire is impossible to put out and ignites on contact with water.

And if you know about that, double ++ for you.
