Holy ----.
I used to work with a guy down here that was a fire watcher out in the Canadian Forest. He was stationed in a tower in the middle of the forrest by himself. His job was to watch out for lightning strikes that started fires.
You would think with that water right there they would be able to get the helicopters going real quick.
What the hell is that bridge thing? It looks like a road that never got finished. ???

I live in the middle.

I was in the Shuswaps at the beginning of August. It was smokey than. It must be worse now. Hope rain starts to fall hard soon and lots of it. They need all the help they can get.
