At least it should not be too difficult to figure out which genius is responsible for the Wildfire.

From the article ... Firefighters rushed to the highly visible fire at about 11:30 a.m. on Friday, off Spland Road.
Dance as if no one's watching, sing as if no one's listening, and live everyday as if it were your last.
Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain.

Command post is on Spland with assets on Diamond View and Spyglass so it's in that general vicinity from what I understand.

LOL, stick with DT Kelowna, then; the community happens to be surrounded by wooded areas.

I hope they get a handle on it.
I can't believe someone was open burning right now. That's a special kind of stupid.

Re: Wildfire off Westside Rd
Believe it: Ferri posted a link to the article; it is very clear.
Further to that, the video on the main page shows a partly-burned pile of something with a long, partially-burned beam across the top of it.A Castanet reporter on scene says it appears someone had been open burning and the flames spread. Firefighters have had to bring in a truck with water.

it looks like they thought they had a safe place to burn but forgot about sparks.

Re: Wildfire off Westside Rd
Sounds like they're going to do a couple of retardant drops and then let a belly tank helicopter take over.
Seems that they may be getting a handle on that fire from what I can gather.
