My Home town is Burning!!

I can't believe this, my home town is burning down. Kelowna my favorite place is going to the shits. I was going to move back there and now there isn't going to be anything left. My friend's houses have burned down, my girlfriend had to evacuate. This is ridiculous, i can't believe how many god damn fires have started in BC. Apparently someone doesn't like the province too much. Hopefully they can get the fire under control, because at this rate everything will be gone.

what, im in vancouver and i hear nothing of these fires...are they natural or arson?

Sorry to hear about the evac man, that fire is HUGE. I hope the weather changes in a big hurry.
The Journal said 20K people had to be evacuated, with the rest on standby. Its hard to imagine a city of 100 000 is at risk of being burned down in this day and age, just goes to show what a monstrous fire this is.

On a side note: Anyone catch the front page of the Journal today? (8/23) Wow what a surreal picture.

Ya the smoke has been super heavy here in Calgary for the last week or so. So bad that you can taste smoke when you breathe sometimes.

Man VS Nature is not a fair fight.

I hope things work out the best for you.

"Fighting" wildfires in the past is one of the reasons why they are so devastating these days. All (except for alien species) of those plant species evolved with fire, and most need it to reproduce...

It's just part of the system.
