Hello my friends........I am back at home as the evacuation order and local emergency have been rescinded. The fire is still 9 kilometers away and remains uncontained, but they have made enough headway at our end to deem it no longer a threat. Rain and a change in wind direction gave them an opportunity to attack the fire directly and make significant gains. Thank you for your words of encouragement and Karma sent........I truly believe it was a factor. We remain ready to leave in a hurry as the threat will probably remain all summer. The fire will no doubt pop up again as it smolders for a long time in the peat bogs and will relight when conditions are right. The helicopters will be flying daily patrols looking for hot spots. I am heading for the medication station for dabs and a bowl.....you are all invited to join me............
