What I'm getting
I came across from Nanaimo this afternoon and you could easily see where the fire was. Thick, thick, smoke in the whole area, like a fog bank had settled on the surrounding peaks, with a long tail being blown south towards the city.

Be Fire Smart.
My parents live not to far from this fire. They've started putting valuable together in case they get an evacuation alert.
Oh good, that yellow dot disappeared.
It was marked as "Not a Fire of Note" meaning that it was not visible to or reported by the public.
West Sechelt fire almost doubled in size overnight.
