Uluwatu se consume en llamas

Ayer por la tarde, no lejos del sitio que albergó el final del Margaret Pro hace unas semanas, estalló un gran incendio que ha asolado gran cantidad de casas y vegetación.

Pretty sad to see this happen today at Uluwatu. Hopefully everyone is alright. #bali #bluepoint #uluwatu #fire #drone #phantom4

Según ha comentado el Coconuts Bali News, "El fuego estalló en Ulu Cliff y se extendió hasta Bluepoint en Labuansait, no muy lejos de la famosa ola de Uluwatu".

Se rumorea que una fuga de gas en una villa en construcción había causado el incendio. El problema es que allí no hay una boca de incendios, y los bomberos tenían que realizar un viaje de 15 a 20 minutos para llenar sus camiones, por lo que  muy difícil para ellos controlar todo. 

Al menos treinta villas han sido arrasadas por el fuego.

Walking out my front door at Padang Padang I noticed a huge smoke cloud coming from Uluwatu. I grabbed my drone, hopped on my scooter, and raced toward the blaze. Once I reached Angle Mart the scene was hectic. Fire trucks were racing back and forth trying to get the raging fire under control. I have to admit for the lack of support they did an amazing job and got the fire contained before it reached Single Fin and the warungs underneath. Very sad to see so much destruction, just hoping everyone is ok.
