This is the main hwy thru Canada West to East. Closed. 46000 hectares in the Shuswap Lake resort area. Many homes and businesses lost. Firefighters left Friday to "regroup" in the middle of this firestorm and the local who have stayed are now threatened with arrest, food and water blocked, (unless a permit is received lolol) they need diesel, able and knowledgable manpower and prayers.
From Janice Ban-man (local)
"Yesterday's very stern threat not to go in and save your own property on TV from govt was disturbing. They said let the professionals do it, your going to hamper the efforts .. well in Scotch Creek they left town and were ready to let it burn over 300,000,000. In infrastructure... They say the back burn saved thousands of homes ?? We say it contributed to it. July 12 when the Adams lake fire started was the time Govt should have jumped on it."

Brad Colonna "I’m no expert but that photo clearly shows the back burn went the other way! Who’s going to be responsible for approving that ignition now that it has caused millions of dollars in damage? That’s the question that needs to be answered."
