That hot spot of Canada the last few days at Lytton, BC, just north of me is just a bit hotter these days, the whole town is engulfed in flames now. Need some of your snow @JohnyPython @SKS

Yesterday, my employers house was nearly burned down from a wildfire here in Osoyoos. The video on Global of the fire retardant being dropped very near a house was his. We were using shovels and a helicopter showed up also to help slow the fire as it raced up the hill. That drop of fire retardant from the plane was JUST in time with some of the spray landing on his deck, pool and us. They did 5 passes on the area right beside the house with the plane. Three helicopters were also on it. The trees went up like gasoline with intense heat. If it would have got into the trees on the south side I don't think any houses would be there now.
Didn't get much chance for pics.... was too busy. My hands are blistered from the shovel with no gloves.
Helicopter water drop during mop up. a distant shot and the deck and area with a fresh coat of fire retardant red.
We were lucky ....

My aunts house is outside of Lytton but was spared, unlike those other poor people.
