My heart is with Summerland and everywhere around.
I understand the loss. I get the uncertainty.
Take care of yourselves and my heart is with you.

@emergencyinfobc_bot No paywall. One of the key findings:
"Fire entered neighbourhoods almost exclusively via embers, rather than direct flame contact, quickly shifting from a wildfire to several urban fires burning simultaneously."
This tells me it is crucial to evacuate *before* embers arrive in your neighborhood. If you wait until embers are falling then fires may have started along your escape route.

NASA FIRMS will not be updated any time soon. They have data issues.
Please submit feedback through their feedback form in hopes they fix this as soon as possible. I know officials use this service too.
The feedback button is located in the top right of this page: https://firms.modaps.eosdis.nasa.gov/notifications/firms/outages.html
Please share widely.

While we think about #Jasper, Slocan Valley is facing similar dangers. The fire jumped Slocan Lake from Valhallas Provincial Park and is now just north of New Denver.
Silverton has been evacuated and a friend of mine has bags packed watching the flames on three sides of her.
This is her photo.
