As Doug mentioned, it is not great here.

Although the total number of fires have dropped, there is no letup with the big fires which are consuming miles of land per day. Resources in that area and around Kamloops which is the closest and biggest city are stretched thin and people are being evacuated to lower mainland area east of Vancouver.

To say these fires are unprecedented is conservative at best. There are now over 37,000 people who are out of home and that number is sure to rise over the coming days. However communities and people not affected by the fires have stepped forward with donations of food, clothing and all other basic necessities of every day life that some of the evac centers are requesting no more donations as they do not have the resources to handle it all.

Also as Doug mentioned, the fire season here is just getting started and IMO, the fire situation is only going to get much worse before it gets "better." And I use the word "better" loosely as this fire season will have repercussions for months and years for not only the evacuee's themselves - but also for this region's mostly rural economy which is heavily natural resource and agriculture dependent.
