The morning of June 21st, a fire started mysteriously nearby the community. Fire fighters were busy with another fire 5 kilometers to the south of the community. The fire has been going most of the day and at times, it approached the Senior's Complex but was redirected by wind and vigilant local fire fighters. It still poses a tremendous danger as evacuation has been imminent since last night with the other fire being only 5 kilometers to the south. With temperatures rising to over 30 today, it looks very hopeless in dousing the flames as of now. Hopefully, the fire will continue on towards the north but if it turns south, I have to evacuate as the fire is in my backyard.
