Kelowna fires

Friends of ours rented a house for 10 days on the lake. This is their view from the opposite side of the fire.

Around 3 yesterday (Saturday) afternoon, while sitting on the front porch, we saw a small plume of smoke over the trees across the lake. Within minutes we could see flames shooting high above the trees - very scary. With binoculars we could see emergency vehicles going back and forth and then helicopters and planes dumping water. The whole fire was an awesome but scary sight. The winds were high and it was very stormy on the lake - it was about 34 degrees out. I am forwarding a few pictures we took. We watched the news about the fire while the smoke fumes were all around us."
