Wild fires and Water

[Mups]

All these horrific wildfires rapidly growing and spreading in France and Spain must be terrifying.

At least humans get jump in their cars and quickly leave the area,  but I hate to think of all the wild life trapped,  helpless, and  dying.  Even if some do survive,  I doubt they would find any food anywhere.
   
I remember when they  had really bad fires in Australia,  and the news showed many of the Koala's covered in burns and with their foot pads all burnt.

If we get any bad fires here this year,  it made me wonder where would the firefighters and helicopters get all the water from if our reservoirs are getting so low?

Rivers and maybe lakes would be a good source as they don't really dry up a lot. The rivers mostly just run slower. It's a mystery why they don't actually dry up. I think some streams do.
