BTW was there loss of life or did they ALL get away in time.
It does seem co-incidental that both continents seem to swap fire hazzard,
again is arson part of it too as with us. Mind you Europe copped it this time
as well and the death toll was bigger that we ever had.
They managed to evacuate everyone with plenty of time to spare, no loss
of life. There are still parts of Kelowna on 1/2 hour evac notice. This
mess isn't over by a long shot. Other comunities that are along the
Okanagan Mountain Park are losing homes and countless numbers have been
evacuated or are on 1/2 hour evac notice. There are other fires
threatening comunities in the Arrow Lakes area at the same time. That
fire could have been stopped in time but since in 1982 (I think) they
had a similar fire in that area and didn't go anywhere, the idiots
ignored it. In 1982 it wasn't anywhere near as dry and heat parched as
it has been this year. Only a total idiot in imediate need for a brain
transplant (Hell, maybe we could get D. McBride's brain for this as I'm
sure its never been used)would have overlooked that small detail. This
is going to be one hell of a summer for many to remember.
