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 fire 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. (ignore the stupid commentary on my part. pls)

  • LMFAO, ths video haunts me. lol.

  • I remember this day like it was yesterday. I was outside and I smelt smoke, I didnt think much of it because I thought it was from elsewhere. Then I heard every fire truck in town going somewhere and I thought it was a massive structure fire or something. I went on castanet and saw this massive headline "Forest Fire Jeopardizes Glenrosa" I remember thinking OMG.

  • lol, yeah. It was insane, I live in Glenrosa now. At the time of the fire we lived in the lower mainland.

  • hey, even was annoyed to hear it all the time on the tv

see all

  • All of west bank kelowna and vernon was brown in thesky

  • one of the most terrifying experiences of my life. i worked at the trail riding place up glenrosa and had to ride our horses down the mountain that day. had to ride right through the fire where it had just jumped the highway. some of it was till burning as i rode my horses through. worse day ever!

  • i lived in glenrosa at the time of this... i remember being in vancouver with my dad visiting my aunt when we heard about this... my grandparents (who live in peachland) called my aunt to make sure me, my dad & our dog were down in vancouver and not in westbank... such a scary thought! to know that the fire was that close to our house! if it had gone further into glenrosa only 20 more minutes, our house would be gone...

  • it was was me, i let this shit up with my powers

  • u should b used 2 annoyng

  • annoying, yeah, thats a good thing...oO
