Some of the footage ive seen on the Kelowna fire is unbelievable. All the best to everyone over there. Im off to Penticton tomorrow to drop off a load of lumber. If anyone sees 82 feet of truck fleeing the area in a ball of flames, that will be me.

Yeah I got family up in Kelowna, not good. Also got my cuz and his family in Naramata there gonna be evacuating any minute. Scary ****. The kelowna fire is 5 times bigger today than it was yesterday.

If you had a whole house to evacuate and 1-2 hours max notice, what would you bring with you? (Other than your car obviously). Hope everything turns out ok .

Good luck with everything Stevem - I was actually planning om coming to Kelowna this weekend to do some wine tasting and rent some ATV's, but my hotel called and told me the situation. Now I have to go to played-out-Whistler instead .

Its a shame to see such a beautiful Province get barbequed .

BTW nice sig...I saw some track official say that on Powerblock TV a few weeks back .
