Smoke



We have an aggressive forest fire located approximately 180 miles from Kelowna. It has been blazing for a couple of days and has expanded to 15,000 hectares at last report. The area is hot and dry in the vicinity of 100 degrees F. Its smoke arrived in the valley this morning. This photo taken from our deck shows it's intensity.

Oh no!! Not another fire. That is really too bad, I hope they have it contained soon. MB

Keeping fingers crossed it doesn't spread more.

Already! Is this unusually early in the season for a forest fire?
