The main road into Bella Coola , Route 20, has been closed since Friday due to wildfires. Since then, fires have been breaking out in Hagensburg and Bella Coola. This is the fire behind the house -


The fires whipped through the clearcut section in about an hour.

We've been watching it grow in every direction.

Even after three days of dropping water down valley, the fires just gets worse. People have been ordered to evacuate.

It's been a difficult week - watching the fires grow - waiting and hoping for anything to make this stop.
The water dropping tanker planes haven't been here yet but we're hoping maybe today.
