Kelowna Fire Storm 2003

i live in rutland. i remember that.. it was freaking INSAINE!!!!!!!!

oh ok

Lightning

did they ever determine what caused the fire? i cant remember

wow, i remember this.

I live in Rutland but i moved here after these fires. You can still find lots of reminders of them when walking in the woods.

I live in the Upper Mission. Close to were the scene hit. We got evacuated immediatly, and the side of our house was all black and burned. We were right at the top. It was pretty scary.

I live in Kelowna and we were moving when the fire happened. the day we were supposed move in we were evacuated

to close for my i was living in east kelowana TO CLOSE!!!!!!scary

I have family in Kelowna and I didn't even know this had taken place.

I remember for that fire every morning I went outside my driveway was totally black from ashes.And most of my friends back in 2002 were living in Rutland and got evacuated and it really sucked...

Dude i moved into the westide into our house but we were on the other side, but we moved later that year, the sky was orange and it was sooo cool mind i was 12 or 11 back then

yyyyyyep some memories for me^_*

We'd moved from OK Falls to Back Mountain, Kelowna during august of 2003, there was a fire in OK falls and in Kelowna... Damn, we were screwed.

Bad Memories...

Really? I guess those 100km winds incinerating 400 houses (of which 40 were inside of a few minutes) was just a co-incidence. Whew..what a relief.
Good montage of photos by the way.

so what if it wasnt a true "firestorm", it still was pretty bad!

That was not a true 'firestorm'. A firestorm is a rotating vortex that 'chimneys' ultra-hot fire gases up to the tropopause while drawing in ground-level air with hurricane force. Think Hamburg, Dresden, Tokyo...
