I picked Alex up from the airport just before 3:00 and there was no fire when I went out to the airport. When we came back, just as we came over the crest of hill at the back of East Kelowna, we could see a plume of smoke, but I couldn't figure out where it was coming from. My cousin and her family were among those evacuated and the winds have been horrible tonight. We're keeping our fingers crossed for all the Glenrosa residents and firefighters tonight.
UPDATE July 21: They let the first group of evacuees home today and they reopened the highways. People are still evacuated and other still on alert. There are now three fires burning on the west side of the lake.
UPDATE July 23: The Glenrosa fire and the Rose Valley fire are both 100% contained. The Fintry fire is growning, but there was rain today. Fingers crossed for everyone affected.
