The particular fires are in southern BC along the US/Canada border from Osoyoos over to Rock Creek/Kettle Valley area.
We've got a temporary service in place relayed from a neighboring WISP now. It's not a lot, but it's something. Another community north of there is completely in the dark due to the fires to the south... no phone lines, no power, not even cell. Logistically, there's nothing we can do for this community right now either. Reports indicate the power company is setting up a generator. 30 homes were lost in Rock Creek so far, and then there's an effin' idiot flying a drone which has caused the air support for the fire to be grounded yesterday. Now *THERE* is someone I hope the black suits find... -Steve D On Mon, Aug 17, 2015 at 6:30 AM, D. Ryan Spott <rsp...@ngc457.com> wrote: > Where are you at Steve? > > ryan > > -- > D.
