"KELOWNA, British Columbia (Reuters) - A forest fire with 400-feet-high
flames swept regions of western Canada on Saturday, forcing some 30,000
people from one town to flee their homes as some houses exploded from the
heat of the firestorm.

The fire about 185 miles east of Vancouver, began on Aug. 16 with a
lightning strike in the mountains. It was estimated at 42,000 acres before
it began its latest advance."
