kelowna bc - fire update

evacs orders will stay in place

sounded like 20 homes destroyed

no missing people reported

task force 1 from vancouver is at scene with approx 50 people - will
do searches and damage assessment

winds should be calm for next few days

their press conference was very polite

at end - a member of the public asked how many firefighters and rigs
were at the scene - the host said the fire chiefs would need a few
minutes to come up with an answer - then the feed went dead

earlier it was reported that 500 ish firefighters were at the scene -
there are only about 25 fire stations in the area - they are probably
lucky if they can get 75 rigs to the fires
