The Okanagan city of Penticton was recently threatened by a forest fire. There were evacuations and many people were on alert.
Through the unceasing efforts of firefighters and pilots, the fire was doused with nearby lake water and is now under control. The alert has ended and everyone is safe.
I wish a quick end to the fires in California and safety to everyone in its vicinity.

I’m happy to hear everyone is safe.
Yes, me too. Thanks, Jill. 🙂
This is the first year in the past 3 that forest fires have not been raging in Alberta. Hope BC and California get a break soon. Allan
All that rain had a silver lining, literally. 😉 The fires in BC seem to be in hand atm. I hope California gets some rain or colder weather, at least.
Wow.
Glad you like it. 🙂
Good to hear some positive news for a change. It looks enchanting!
Thanks, Christie, it IS good. And it is very pretty. 🙂
So beautiful Lynette is this where you live? How gorgeous. So grateful for firemen, honestly I don’t know how anyone does that job but thanks be to God that they do. Fires will continue to be more and more of a threat with global warming.
CA was hit so badly last year like Australia, I pray it does not get that bad again. Take care Lynette. Love ❤️ Joni
Thank you very much, Joni. 🙂 Yes, it is. It’s a very beautiful wine-growing area, but has been prone to fires in the last couple of decades. I couldn’t agree with you more about global warming.
The fires are so sad. I pray for those affected with such loss. We really have to address global warming on a world basis in order to save are world. ❤️💕🤗 love ❤️ Joni
I always get sad when I hear of fires in the forests , wherever they are in the world. So bad, and sometimes they are lighted by men…
Yes, so true, but this one was started by lightening and exacerbated by hot weather. Our forests are so precious that yes, it’s very sad to lose them.
