CANADIAN WILDFIRES 2015

In the summer of 2009 my folks almost lost their home in the Westbank fire but the wonderful efforts of the helicopter water bomber and fire fighters saved the Mill and the subdivision. This year in the southern end of the Okanagan, Oliver and other small communities are facing terrible fires. Two wineries were saved by the wonderful efforts of the teams fighting the fires there. Saskatchewan and Alberta have had their share of heartache. Fire destroys homes, properties and businesses. By remembering to practice safe fire practices world wide is essential. No cigarette butts out the window. If no camp fires is the rule for campers then no camp fires. Practice safety in your home. The kitchen is the worst place to cause a home fire. Had our share of close calls over the years. To the folks fleeing fires on evacuation notice across this nation and the United States, our hearts, thoughts and prayers are with you. God Bless the workers fighting these fires every day! You make a difference in people's lives.

BC has beautiful scenery and lots of business. This is what our fire fighters coast to coast save for us Canadians.
