Brush fire on Greenway

[ferri]

A fire on Kelowna's Mission Creek Greenway has firefighters scrambling.

From pictures received by Castanet, at least a portion of the fire appears to be burning next to the trail between the KLO entrance and Mayer Road.

There is some concern as winds begin to pick up, and it appears there may be more than one point of ignition.

Castanet has reporters heading to the scene.

We'll have more details when they become available.

Funny how these fires always start up on hot, windy days. And no, not the ha ha kind of funny.

My money is on buttflickers.

The story has already been updated. Thankfully, it is under control.

Wrong.

Unless of course it was a chain smoker who managed to quickly smoke 5 or 6 cigarettes and then throw each one into the brush beside them as they walked along.

My money is on some skid flicking matches into the brush because “why not”.

Uh huhhh, I lost my money indeed. (The news update was 25 or so minutes after my post).

A dumb-arse fire-starting ¥£§$&* no less.

I wonder if it was the same idiot that was lighting a fire off Enterprise the other day.
