29 MayFire rages above Monaco

A dramatic brush fire swept across the hillside above Monaco on Monday, endangering dozens of villas perched on the exposed mountainside above the Grande Corniche road. Smoke and flames were clearly visible from the port as tourists and Grand Prix crew alike looked on in horror… Firefighters battled the flames for hours before finally bring it under control late afternoon using their famous Canadair waterbomber planes, which first scooped up sea-water in the bay below and then dropped it onto the flames.
