You can still see smoke rolling off the reserve. Pretty damn big for a "controlled burn".

Is it like a golden shower? I know what that is, but I didn't think my post resembled a golden shower. Maybe a Cleveland steamer, but that is expect of me at this point I would figure...

French Shower

Quote:
To cleanse ones self by applying only deodorant and cologne (or perfume). The French reference is in place because of the widely-held notion that the French are not fond of bathing on a regular basis.

Smelled the smoke this morning throughout our whole home and I thought some one had set a fire in our fireplace it was that strong. All the units in our complex have fireplaces so it's not uncommon to smell a bit of burning wood outside, but never in the unit itself.

As we were leaving the house this morning we saw a fire truck looping in & out of cul de sac in our area, just assumed a house had burned down. It was pretty thick smoke in Canyon Meadows this morning.

I could smell it throughout my house this morning as well.

I live in Douglasglen.

When I went outside, I could see a definite haze in the sky.

I hope the city sends an invoice to the reserve for the cost of sending fire trucks out responding to the "smell of smoke" from their "controlled burn" of a landfill.

I wasn't being a ######. The reserve is a dump.

I don't think I've ever laughed that hard at the comments in this thread.

Educate me. What is the name of the place where the Tsuu T'ina people live then? (I thought it was the Tsuu T'ina Nation).

Looked out the window this morning at 5AM and thought it was fog, that's how thick the smoke was. Couldn't believe the smell though, but it makes sense now since it wasn't just wood burning, but junk. Haven't smelled smoke that strong since Kelowna's big fire.

Looks like they're signalling us that they are ready to continue Ring Road talks.

What you are smelling is the burning of used diapers, rubber boots, and the insulation on copper wires.

We turned our furnace off to keep the stench out.

@660news is reporting the fire could smoulder for several more days.

Nice.

So the fire on the reserve is apparently a garbage pile of old construction material burning.

A reserve administrator, one Kevin Littlelight, says they did not start the fire, and it was the result of spontaneous combustion?!

Expected to burn for another 48 hours.

no we didn't light it, but we tried to fight it."
