So there is a small community... cough...
across the Lake from me that for some reason or another people like to call it West Kelowna.. which its NOT because it is NOT connected but whatever Alex you are wrong.
Anyways crews were alerted to a fire across the lake in West, Westbank earlier around 3 ish and now there is a fire just over 50 hectares burning through. That area, called Glenrosa, has been evacuated and the surrounding area near Glenrosa is on high alert. I dont think that we will be put on alert because the idea of it crossing the lake seems a bit absurd but you never know.
Anyways - for those who know we are near the fire just wanted to letcha know that we are ok and the fire is being fought as we speak.
If you need some more information on the subject I recommend www.castanet.net it is our local website for news... but it is being rather slow at the moment. CBC also has a brief story on it/// brief, very brief.

And here is another BC Story on it.
