A couple of weeks ago the base was put on evacuation alert as a 220 acre forest fire emerged over the hill next to us. For the next couple of days the security team kept in contact with the fire crew to ensure that the fire didn't put us in eminent danger. Staff set up seating, snacks and Lord of the rings music to watch helicopters dump huge balls of water on the forest to stop the fire spreading further. By the end of the weekend the fire was safely contained and we could all unpack our evacuation bags.
