I hope everyone in the area is safe and that the firefighters can contain and extinguish the blaze before it does much more damage.

this is why as a kid growing up in the Okanagan with a dad who drove a logging truck, i get really annoyed at enviromentalists who bitch about clear cutting. nature does a lot more clear cutting of her own than man could ever do, and an old forest that's been cut down and replanted with younger trees stops fires like these since there's no old timber left to burn
