That Summerland fire was nuts, grew something like 2000 hectares in an hour and went from 50 to 5000 hectares in 3 hours. Many have said they've never seen a fire grow that fast.
As Topper said, its very dry here right now and the grass on that side of the lake and mountains is so dry all it took was a decent wind and it nearly took out the whole town.
It's getting warm
