Some of the hundreds of people displaced by wildfires in Canada have been sharing their stories.
BBC News, West Kelowna, British Columbia
For much of the last week the immediate area around Lake Okanagan, in the province of British Columbia, has been shrouded in thick smoke. Thankful that the Sun had poked its head through the clouds, alleviating at least one of his worries, Shane had other concerns."Friday afternoon, we were evacuated," he says as he waits hopefully in line to hear if he can qualify for emergency accommodation.
Full of praise for firefighters continuing to tackle hundreds of small blazes, Mr Eby said their efforts had saved dozens of homes and businesses in the area. He continued: "Our Wildfire Service now has to work year-round because the fire season starts longer and goes on later. We're in the fourth year of drought here in BC, that's making the fires so much worse."
"Nobody thought that the fire would jump across the lake," says Todd as he recalls the sudden realisation that homes on the "safe" eastern side of Lake Okanagan were also in peril.
