Smith Creek Fire

[Novas Grandma]

Just saw the smoke

[Frisk]

I hear sirens but I don't see any smoke.

[Swoop]

Yup, watching it from the east side of the lake right now. Too far away to tell if there's any aircraft working the fire.

[Novas Grandma]

I'm watching from Black mountain

[Frisk]

Where is it??? Is it behind me?

[Novas Grandma]

Between smith creek and glenrosa to the north west

1 house quickly being evacuated due to hay field behind it, somewhere around Dixie Road. Command has set up Smith Creek and Elliot Road. 1 helicopter on its way.

[Novas Grandma]

lots of white and grey smoke drifting nw

[logman]

It's in the Smith Creek area. Is that the same spot as the last fire up there? Maybe a flare up from the fire earlier in the week? It's a bit breezy today.

[madadam]

2 homes evacuated, fire reports fire in tree canopy.

[Novas Grandma]

2 planes from what I can see are up

[Novas Grandma]

1 helicopter and 1 plane

[madadam]

Bird Dog - 1.5 hectares, rank 3, bombers on the way.

The wind is blowing as a new system comes on shore tomorrow to the BC Coast. It's really moving and the resources are spread pretty thin with Apex, Jura, Murray, Boot Hill all blowing up. Another 2 fire trucks moving down the highway. Homes are within reach.
