My thoughts go out to everybody retreating from, fighting or staying and protecting their homes due to the mass forest fires raging through British Columbia.

Oh yes all "forest" fires, truly devestating sadly some of the areas hit were hit hard just 2 years ago.

That's not good that it's come back so soon.
My plan this summer is getting the kids out of here for the majority of the summer as much as I can . I'm not taking chances this time. last season there were hours not knowing where they were or whether they were safe.
I'm sending them off to their dads or my mums in the city.

That's just too awful Minky. It reminds me of the Australian fires. Keep us up-dated won't you and I pray every-one will be safe.

Oh Mel, such bad news. These huge fires are such a worry and cause such dreadful devastation. And they do seem to be getting worse each year. I hope everyone stays safe and the fires are put out quickly. Do they think they were started carelessly again? Why don't people ever learn? :-5
You and your family and all families affected are in my thoughts and prayers. Please let us all know how it goes. Hugs to you and Junior Minks. :yh_hugs:yh_hugs
