We just came down from lambley lake there was quite a bit of smoke up there and really windy...

[Frisk]

That location looks quite remote.

I can see it here at the 5000 foot elev mark. Windy here @ approx 20kmh from the south

4 Fire Boss planes are flying a circuit between the fire and Okanagan Lake. They are flying low over my house. Isn't there a bylaw against this? LOL JK

They are flying right over my house too. Sounds like a war zone.

[tsayta]

Less smoke. Fading

[Frisk]

Those skimmer planes seem remarkably effective.

I hope they have it under control the wind is really picking up here in Westbank.

[tsayta]

Here too. Above kvr. Temp dropping.

Come on Castanet....post some updates would YA!

[oneh2obabe]

Castanet and other local sites have to wait for updates. If they haven't received any, no sense repeating the same thing over and over.

just look at the provincial wild fire site it has a interactive map of all fires and fastest updates

The planes stopped a couple of hours ago. Can we assume its contained?
