Holy shit that's some serious stuff. I've been through Williams Lake more than a few times (used to live up North) and I've seen this up close further north. Pretty scary stuff, I'm sure you've got a go-kit ready - hope you don't need it man.

this is the fire just outside williams lake. apparently its not far from the Log Home site. There are 2 or 3 Timberking log home sites and one of them is burned down. The other one is like near the middle of this picture.
just talked to my nephews dad who got evacuated and the fire is near their house. he was in tears as he picked up my neph to go stay at a hotel. so sad. apparently power is going out in certain areas around town.
Thanks for the photos and the updates, StuntMan. We're hearing about this in Victoria but your posts really bring it home. I hope you and the town get a lucky break with the weather.
Powerful stuff. Exciting and scary reports. Stay safe Stunman. Mother Nature beats us all.

apparently the gas station just outside williams lake, about 4 or 5 km outside has burned down and the Indian Reservation that houses 1500 or so people is on fire from what some people are saying.
my sister lives about 5 km up the road from there and they have heard several explosions just recently
will do. they just did the evacuation on the indian reservation about 2-3 hours ago so i hope everyone got out of there. am worried some people got stubborn or didnt get the memo.
so if the gas station has burned down then the Log Home building site is burned down now too. It's right across the street from there
fun fact. carey price played minor hockey here. i met him at boston pizza once when he was signing autographs for everyone back 10-12 years ago. have seen him around town a couple times at subway and the stampede
here is video of the fire near the airport.

been confirmed by multiple eye witnesses that the Indian Reservation is burning down. Fire on both sides of the highway so most likely the Timberkings log building place is up in flames. Terrible man i feel for the people who have to start over
our hospital and seniors homes are getting evacuated at the moment. some people are saying the whole town going to get evacuated tomorrow but its hard to know what to believe. so many false stories and rumors. first our airport was burned down and now it isnt. we'll see how things are in the morning
now southlakeside of our town is getting evacuated. im about 5 km away from there so am going to stay up all night
mother nature sucks sometimes
the Pioneer log home building yard (timber kings) has burned down. I tried uploading the picture on this computer but it's not working. I'll upload it on my other computer.
this is a picture of the Timber Kings (pioneer log homes) burning last night. Terrible
