Paying close attention to evacuation alerts and orders were I live. Several wildfires are ravaging the area, taking homes with it. One evacuation order is about 2km up the hill from the valley from me. Reports of homes being destroyed and pets lost already.What a year in Canada for wildfires. Its apocalypticPost edited by 1ThoughtKnown on0

Another wildfire, the Upper Rill Creek fire, is just west of us and the stiff wind isn’t helping

Thanks Tish. If there is an evacuation order, we are out of here. The alert boundary is about 400m to the west on the other side of the river.I would never put the firefighters at any additional risk by sticking around. They have enough to worry about protecting critical infrastructure and homes. The last thing they need is to be unnecessarily placed in danger because someone didn’t heed the evacuation warning and then needed rescuing, reports of which happened last night in West Kelowna0

Well I hope you panic pack better than I did. I packed three bikinis, four pairs of shoes, a set of beautiful lingerie, and a couple ski jackets.

Cooler temps are helping the firefighters. Had two friends stay here last night who were evacuated from West Kelowna last night. Things are still pretty tenuous
There are other places in bad shape as well. Some areas further north in the Shushwap. Overall, 35,000 British Columbians are currently evacuated with 30,000 more on alert.Post edited by 1ThoughtKnown on0 -

A good news story is that the firefighters saved a brand new $75M water treatment facility with $10,000 worth of sprinklers and pumps. The flames were over top of the structure. True professionals those firefighters.

Wishing you and yours good luck and helpful winds to get the fire away (rain is probably too much to hope for right now). I have several relatives leaving Kelowna now, one couple who just purchased their Kelowna home last fall. I can’t imagine how scary it must be to see that smoke and those flames come
closerWe have been so fortunate in Victoria and most areas of the Island this summer. I almost feel guilty for how easy our summer has been compared to tens of thousands, maybe hundreds of thousands, of other British Columbians and Canadians in other provinces.my small self... like a book amongst the many on a shelf0 -
Best wishes to your loved ones in Kelowna often. I live about 90 minutes south of downtown Kelowna in the narrowest part of the Okanagan valley and the smoke is so thick down here you don’t want to be outside.Smoke-onagan is an earned nickname0
