Monroe FSR? Never heard of it.

What's up there? Ranches?

Thought there was something close...copter with bucket just went over us in Glenrosa....fingers crossed the light breeze here stays down.

expect northerly gusting to 40. the fire is south of peachland though so the wind should push it away

Are we talking close to Antler Beach area? Which is South of Peachland or further down?

I'm thinking it's close to Okanagan ATV Tours/Peachland Riding Club.
Do they mean Munro? That's off McDougald

I was just looking at the spelling diff in my mapbooks.

Princeton Ave is closed at Pierce Rd?

So much for "South of Peachland." It's right in frikken Peachland.

Hopefully there aren't any homes where the fire is. Lots of buildings by the ATV place. The residents at the mobile home park at Pierce must be nervous.

They might have closed roads to better control who is going in & out of the area?
