July 17, 201411 yr Author Canny lass, just now smoke is the biggest problem the water bombers are controlling the fire risks and we have several fire breaks, my brother here in town has respiratory problems and has to stay indoors, the rest of our family are 100 and 300 miles away, but still in the smoke! the eldest daughter and granddaughter are coming for a visit tomorrow if the roads don't close.
July 18, 201411 yr That sounds horrendous, Vic. 300 miles and still in the smoke! That's some fire. Take real good care of youselves.
July 18, 201411 yr Sorry Vic,didn't realise you lived in Canada ,where the wildfires are raging hope your safe & well,I thought you were talking about the heat wave down south take care
July 18, 201411 yr Author No worries Tonyp, (as Brian would say!) it's cooler here today with a bit rain, and lightning! (starting more fires) there is still lots of smoke but that often happens, thank you Canny lass, Maggie.
July 23, 201411 yr Author Thank you everyone, the temperatures are down and the local fires are under control, depending on the wind direction the smoke comes and goes, but its not causing a problem here. Once a fire is brought under control they often like to let it continue to burn to clear out the underbrush and create a fire break for the next few years! it also completley changes the wildlife habitat! http://wildfire.alberta.ca/wildfire-status/wildfire-status-map.aspx
