Little White / Gillard fire

[tsayta]

Lots of looky loos driving up gillard

[Fancy]

Not too bright - people have been caught up with wind changes before.

Anyone have an exact location of the fire? Looks like it's gillard side of Bellevue canyon above the KVR.

I believe it's bellevue Creek, Northwest slope of little white

I'll post a video of terrain shot there in 2014

On the satellite view, the fires are ALL along the same road. *bleep*!

[Troy]

Yeah, I was just noticing that too:

Looks like it's up in and around all the fresh clear cuts up gillard FSR about 14km mark

This video was shot pretty much in the exact location in December 2014. Gives an idea of the terrain and fuels...

Somewhat OT, but someone needs to tell their reporter that the G in Gillard is hard.

[Barney Google]

There are a few lakes up there that GSC could be at...maybe Canyon or Crawford.

This is frustrating...reports from various weather sites are conflicting with the winds...Castanet says winds are coming out of the SSW at 21 km...gusting up to 34...Kelowna Airport is say E at 15 kms...in the Joe Rich Valley..the ol weather vane is showing wind out of the east breezy with occasional gusts. Up there on Little White it could be blowing all over the place.

[Relentless]

From the Wildfire website map, it appears that one fire is on the curve of Km 7, and the other two are just south of Km 14

About the distance it takes to smoke 3 cigarettes, with a pee break at 14.

For those who are interested in what the area looks like.
The pic is from Km 15 of Gillard FSR

Little White Mtn to the east
