We used to have several of them here in British Columbia. Unfortunately it is fire season right now, and we have a number of evacuation orders in British Columbia, Yukon and Alberta.
I know how that feel ,we live in the blue mountains and went through a big fire not so long ago ,i know at least 4 people that lost their home , and i had my gear pack for a quick getaway if needed , thankfully the wind change and a big effort on the bush fire brigade , i guess we dont have the big water areas like you do so it helicopters around here .
