forest fires

Well - it's been an eventful weekend in BC, due mainly to forest fires . The internet was out for quite a while because the fire in Kamloops took out shaw cable's lines. We weren't affected at our house because we use ADSL line not cable. But pretty much everyone else in town was affected. (The digital TV channels were out too). It is also the weekend with (typically) the most car accidents - I'm currently trying to find out how we did this year. I know that on our way home from the lake, Glenn and I saw a greyhound passenger bus in the ditch (the front was pretty banged up, but the rest looked okay) and the remains of a trailer (or camper) were everywhere all over the road. I didn't see the vehicle that had been towing the trailer, but the accident had happened a couple hours earlier, so it might have already been towed. I heard on the radio that there were no life threatening injuries. Hopefully the rest of the people who were in accidents were that lucky.
