Fires

I heard someone call it the "Smokanagan" a few days ago. That describes it well these days. You can't even go for a jog outside without feeling like you smoked a pack of cigarettes or stood in front of a campfire for hours.

Observing a lot of pictures of fire lately, I thought I'd post a few that stirred up emotion for me -mainly fear, of what forest fires can do to homes, structures, lives...

These are the scariest ones I could find;


Lillooet Fire behind the town













Glenrosa Fire as it engulfed homes behind Gormans Mill













Okanagan Mountain Park Fire 2003 when it took many homes and raged into "Firestorm"
