On August 1st, 2003, we were driving backroads from Green Lake to Kamloops. We came over a hill and spotted the smoke plume.   We weren’t sure where it was but as we came into Kamloops it was clearly in the Dome Hills and on Strawberry Hill.   There were two fires in the area, one caused by careless human activity.    We have seen many fires since, but this one was clearly visible from town and was a frightening sight.
