Hmmm...interesting.

Running a fire break on any persons property is not unusual, however if what you are stating that this was done only because it was a politician's property is quite different....and I am sure that there a few people in the Kelowna area who are still fighting the insurance companies and gov for $$ would like to know this...


As for passing people who need help this unfortunately happens all the time in wildland/urban interface fires. Manpower is always limited and as such "triage" procedures are needed in order to fight the bigger overall threat
