Glenrosa/Westbank Forest Fire:

Well we went for a day trip 2 Kelowna British Columbia. At about 2:30-3:00pm we noticed a lot of smoke coming from the Okanagan Connector and well what do u know. A huge forest fife had started and we still had to try 2 get out of town. This video was taken from my phone while we tried to get through the connector. There was ash falling and the fire was closer then the video showed. This was taken about 4:15 on July 18, 2009.
