I note that a lot of them are kicking up because of a lack of fire fighting facilities. Perhaps if they didn't treat tax evasion as a national sport, they could afford more. It is still a tragedy though. |

Where does turpentine come from? |

Graham | Report | 29 Jul 2018 17:17 |
Sharron. Turpentine is distilled from tree resin, mostly pine trees. |
