Subject: RE: BS: Is anyone in fire danger?
Good news, as of last night Helga's house was still standing. There is a firetruck stationed at her house.

Unfortunately, she has now lost track of her horses, as they were evacuated to Naramata to an area that subsequently had to be evacuated and she has no idea where they are now. As of last night 95% of the park has burned and worse is predicted for today for Kelowna because of the wind.
Some photos of the Okanagan Mountain Park fire as of yesterday

Bad news is that the fires around Kamloops have spread again in the Chase and Pritchard area and my cousin and his wife are now under evacuation orders. Don't know if their house is still intact.
