#quaaout — Public Fediverse posts

This is what the current situation is here with the fires. Air quality is off the charts, multiple communities in the interior are on evacuation orders and alerts.

#Squilax has been partially burned down (there's been mixed reports and gossip, but as of this morning the band office, and #Quaaout lodge still standing, but the gas station and some homes burnt down). There's been an extreme lag with news and updates about the #Shuswap area, as the focus has been on #Kelowna, and evacuation orders for reserves weren't posted on the #BCWildfire map until up to half a day later.

Many other #Secwepemc reserves are on evacuation orders, and while #ChaseBC is on alert, it's surrounded by orders and road closures. People are stealing and moving firefighting equipment, including the sprinklers protecting the few bridges in and out of communities.

I can't keep up with everything right now.
