Had to drive to Abbotsford Monday for a hydraulic part, passed this wildfire at the top of the mountain precisely at Hells Gate canyon. Temp was 32C. That whole Fraser River Valley from Hope to Lytton is a gigantic tinder box, and it has been struck repeatedly with enormous wild fires year after year.
The entire Okanagan is in extreme drought and extreme fire danger, and that’s an understatement.
