I don't even know anymore. There have been so many fires that you can't really keep track of how they are started. I remember that one or two were from cigarettes, one was from kids (small one), a ton of them were from flying embers. And this is the driest BC has ever been. BC is usually very dry, but this year is the worst. Kelowna is supposed to be a tropical city, but people are starting to call it a desert.

Omgosh I hope you guys keep safe. I'm a major panick freak, I'd have my bed packed already. Keep safe you two! I want frequent updates!

I know you two live a couple hours away...but if you need a place to stay, don't hesitate to ask.

UPDATE:

There is a storm right now :-(:-( lightening and thunder, this is the last thing we need because one strike of lightening could start another HUGE blistering fire, considering it is sooo dry right now it hasnt rained in such a long time .

Hopefully the storm will bring lots of rain and no lightening.
Keeping our paws and claws crossed.

Please stay safe u 2, & keep us updated as often as u can.

binka_nugget that is a sweet thing to offer, u 2 might want to consider it as an option.

Canada is no longer "the land of the great white", its now "the land of the great fire".

[tikeyas_mom]

We are all hoping for rain, but so far there is none just lightening and thunder

[tikeyas_mom]

here is a idea of the fire, this is the actual fire!

[krazyaboutkatz]

Please try to stay safe and keep us updated if you can. Prayers and positive thoughts are on the way. Let there be a lot of rain to drown out this horrible fire. Please take care.

OMG! That is SO scary. I'm so worried about my uncle now! He lives around Vancouver. The fire isn't there is it? Oh my goodness. Please be safe, all of you. Jordan, be sure the ratties and pups have a safe carrier in case of evacuation. Jynelle, if the birds are outside, bring them in. The smoke can be horrible for their health. Also, be sure to have carriers ready for all of the animals. I know you have many, so it may take time to prepare. Are your parents home from camp? Stay safe you all, and keep us updated. I hope you'll never have to be evacuated and that the fires die down.

Oh I'm so worried about the two of you. It looked like it would rain today. Hopefully, it'll get a bit wetter very soon. Stay safe you two.

Actually the fire is now in Naramatta, Peachland, Penticton, Kelowna, and some town I can't remember the name of.

We are fine. I didn't sleep very well which sucks because I had to get up early today. The fire has burned down so many more houses. I haven't looked outside to check if the fire is still there yet. I don't really want to know.

Thanks for offering your house Ashley!!!

OMG I'm so scared about this thing. I'm sending prayers and postive thoughts BC's way. Stay safe all of you.

I wish we could send you guys some of our rain!
