I don't like the name West Kelowna - the fires were in Westbank and Glenrosa - the Glenrosa Fire on day three retreated allowing the first good view of how close it came to the homes. Unconfirmed we have heard that more than 3 homes had burned, but it's amazing to see how close the fires were to homes and how little damage was done.

FIRE UPDATE: WEST KELOWNA July 20 Video
The danger is not over but for now the fire fighters are gaining ground in West Kelowna (also know as Westbank). Downtown Westbank is open for business and now it is a slow waiting game to see if the winds come up or not, if not residents should be back home soon.

Okanagan Valley Fire - '09 - Support those affected!
hey so i'm not affected by the fire, but i know some who are and it is a really scary thing (even to just be under evacuation alert). support them in any way you can...whether it is via prayers, donations, opening your house and land to people and animals, etc., etc. you CAN get involved.

KELOWNA WILDFIRE - Air Tanker Video July 19 2009
Watching the air tanker make pass after pass to knock down a wildfire that sprung up in Mission Creek Regional Park I was left with a feeling of gratitude to these brave pilots. Without their quick reaction there could have been another fire storm to contend with. And lets not forget all the fire fighters on the ground working in the heat and smoke, putting their lives on the line to save 'stuff.'

Lighter side of the WEST KELOWNA FIRE 2009 - Intruder Alarm?
So we are talking with the RCMP at the bottom of Gellatly RD. in West Kelowna and a pair of deer are wondering through the yard of a home that had been evacuate. A few minutes latter another patrol car arrives with 2 officers to check the home where the deer had just been. It seems the deer set off a burglar alarm. What's the chances of seeing something like that or that we weren't able to see the water bombers getting water so we returned to Kelowna right as the Mission Park fire started and watched an air tanker make pass after pass ...YOLO - You Only Live Once, what a day.

Hot, windy and bone dry..WESTBANK FIRE 2009 video
It's dry, hot and windy, more than 10,000 people are evacuated from their homes, as the fires rage on. We drove to the bottom of Gellatly Road in Westbank where kids were jumping of the docks not long ago, the road is now closed, beaches and homes are empty and then as we approach RCMP blocking access to the area - no exception, we see two deer trying to flee the fire and commotion. More to follow on the deer...they had a sinister side.

AIR TANKER ATTACKS MISSION CREEK FIRE July 19, 2009
An air tanker made repeated passes at the Kelowna Mission Creek Fire that sprung up today, July 19, 2009. It was amazing to watch the spotter plane make repeated passes through the smoke and over the fire; twice I heard a loud siren before the air tanker started her assault. Making repeated passes just over the top of the trees the red fire retardant was dropped with precision. Thank you to the air crews and the ground crews that brought this fire under control.
