91裸聊视频淐rews really did a great job to get some containment lines in, hand lines, machine guards.91裸聊视频�

In the areas where machine or hand word wasn91裸聊视频檛 possible, retardant and water drops help to make a bit of a line, she said.

91裸聊视频淭hose crews really have been putting a lot of backbreaking effort into it, and the successes are being seen. I am happy to say we are seeing progress,91裸聊视频� Kekula said, adding a caution that the fires are far from out.

She likens a campfire. The fire may look out, but if you blow on it, the embers will flare up again. People might not see a lot of open flame or smoke at the moment, but the danger is far from over.

91裸聊视频淚t literally is a bed of coals,91裸聊视频� said Kekula. The objective now is to extinguish hot spots around the perimeters of the fires, so when the wind blows the fire up again, there is no material around for it to burn.

91裸聊视频淭his is a tricky time we are in,91裸聊视频� said Kekula. 91裸聊视频淵ou feel like there is a bit of a calm, and then the wind picks up and off it goes again. I don91裸聊视频檛 want people to think we are out of the woods. It is getting hot and dry again; we wait and see what the weather does.91裸聊视频�

Kekula said the best thing that could happen right now would be a significant amount of rain, but that isn91裸聊视频檛 in the forecast.

The Mount Eneas fire, last estimated at 1374 hectares, is still considered out of control.

91裸聊视频淲e do not have containment on these fires yet.91裸聊视频�

That includes Goode91裸聊视频檚 Creek in Okanagan Mountain Park (400 hectares); Mount Conkle near Summerland (118 hectares); Law Creek near West Kelowna (10 hectares) and Placer Mountain, near Princeton (320 hectares).

91裸聊视频淭hey are all unique. Because of that, we have to approach each one differently. We have 18 helicopters, we have over 200 firefighters and we have these resources we can move around to where we need,91裸聊视频� said Kekula.
