I'm only reading about what is going on up there long distance. Kelowna, however, is my paradise. My husband and I ski at Big White and come there a couple of times a year. I'm devastated by the extent of the fire, but grateful for all the firefighters who are working to put the fire out. Others who are volunteering and working in other ways to take care of the evacuees are also to be commended. It's wonderful when a community pulls together to overcome adversity. A lot of good can come out of a disastrous situation. Firefighters have become regarded as true heroes here in the U.S. after 9-11. Kelowna's experience seems to be proving it again. Thank you.
