@WBrettWilson Differing opinions on what is influencing the pace of #climatechange so I'm interested in your thoughts on ongoing air/water #pollution through existing primary energy systems? Do you think these systems are in the long term interests of human health? #olivebranch #commonground

This is the shot of the Mcdougall creek fire heat map. Shows just how bad it was during its run. #Westkelowna #kelowna

@SeismicGlen In a few very select areas...so your logic is to spend millions on a boat to save a handful of homes where the water is deep enough? Do you not think firefighting pros would have recommended this if it would have any measurable impact? Or are they also in on the conspiracy? 🙄

[NIDO. @nidodesigninc]

#West #Kelowna Fire Chief just confirmed that local air quality is currently the biggest risk to both firefighters and public! Limit time outdoors, wear a N95 mask, reduce if not turn off any devices pulling outdoor air inside, clean or upgrade air filters!

@SeismicGlen It is incredibly frustrating to read the cesspool which Twitter has become. People around the world spewing this is some sort of conspiracy when they have zero understanding of our area. People are hurting, scared, not sure if they even have homes left....leave us alone.

[NIDO. @nidodesigninc]

@SeismicGlen My point being...you clearly have no understanding of this area, the lake, or the topography. This is the driest year on record in BC's history...in June/July we've had all of 13mm of rain (1/2"), had double the number of 30C+ (86F) days than normal, and had very low snowpack.

[NIDO. @nidodesigninc]

@SeismicGlen Your not wrong to say that but all but a few of the original homes on the shores of this lake must be a minimum of 30m back from the natural boundary of the lake as this is considered the "riparian area" where no development is allowed. (1/2)

5. If you go outside, wear a mask.

2. Clean or change any air filters on any devices that are pulling outdoor air into your home. If a new filter, look for a minimum MERV13 or 2200 level filter.

4. Standalone HEPA level air filters that clean interior air with MERV13+ filters are ideal. If you can't find one locally get one ordered and if you can, order an extra for your friends/family as this could be the most boring gift but also most helpful gift you'll ever give.

1. Close windows and doors and seal up any cracks or leaks as best as possible.

The outdoor air quality throughout Kelowna and many communities throughout the Okanagan and BC is absolutely brutal! Concentrations of particulate matter (ash, dust, pollen) have hit as high as 690ppm (parts per million) in some areas of Kelowna.

Here are some tips...

@Okanaganscan Thank you! The updates have been incredibly helpful 🙏

Cooking up some good rhythms over here with our typical #highperformancehome ingredients mixed with some style! To top it off...a floating shipping container pool with glass wall facing Okanagan Lake and Naramata vineyards! Whatcha think?
