Been on here for about a year now so I figured it was time I filled this out. I added some additional information about myself outside of the original questions


NAME: Paul

NICKNAME: Heartthrob Paul- My backyard wrestling persona from high school

WHERE DO YOU LIVE: Delta, British Columbia, Canada

Are there wildfires close to you?

[paul]

Thankfully, no. I live in the suburbs of Vancouver and we're normally spared the wildfires save for the smoke that drifts down from the rest of the province. Most of the wildfires are in the Central to Northern parts of B.C. although there are a few towns about 1.5-2 hours drive away from where I live that are burning. With that being said there are some large forested areas just a few blocks away from my house so if something were to happen there that could definitely be a problem for me personally.

The fire that's really out of control right now is the one up in Kelowna. I have a friend who lives there and they are on evacuation alert right now so she needs to be prepared to leave at a moment's notice if required. She's definitely in my thoughts and prayers right now along with everyone else affected by the fires.

Thank you for your concern Gunslinger.
