For the FIREFIGHTERS

[tragicallyblonde]

Tomorrow is the 2nd anniversary of 9-11 . While our firemen battle on,... remember to take a moment of silence at 8:46 a.m.,... to remember and honour those fallen firefighters.

[Ely]

Thanks for the reminder, also say a prayer for the 2 water bomber pilots lost in the Cranbrook area.

Amen...thanks Ely..Take care

What Sorry - I've been on the far side and out of range for regular communication - what's this about Pilots in Cranbrook? Is there a news link somewhere?

No planes or helicopters have crashed during the Okanagan fire but there have been 2 incidents on other fires this year in B.C.
The crash happened July 18th at the start of the forest fire season, a Lockheed Electra fighting a small fire outside of Cranbrook crashed killing Ian MacKay from Rossland and Eric Ebert

Also we should say another prayer for Behrnard von Hardenberg whose helicopter crashed while fighting the fire at Bonaparte Lake
