It's getting worse by the day here in the Okanagan Valley with all the fires in the surrounding areas and coming up from Washington State. Is it Smokey in your neck of the wood if they haven't burnt yet? Lol.

We are smoke free for the first time in years but we have also had more rain then I can ever remember in one summer. Hopefully the wind direction changes for you guys and it clears up.

yup.. people with asthma or lung conditions really suffer.. I've seen times where it's heavy smoke for a month.. Those people with lung conditions have it rough..

Kids at school have days and weeks sometimes where they are not allowed to go outside for recess. My kids soccer games and practises get cancelled from it as well. Once the air quality hits a certain number, no recess, no soccer etc..

One May long weekend a few years ago the forrest fires were so dam bad, we went to the busiest camp ground around and we had the entire camp ground to ourselves except 1 other family.. typically all 120 sites are gone by Thursday night May long.
