Hi gang, There is a video on Facebook of two people breaking into a cottage on Baptiste Lake. They may have been identified.
You can contact Ed for the Facebook connection
Ed has agreed that you can contact him for the relay.

Some far, our ELCA seems to be free of break-ins this winter. Rock 'n roll!
Thanks Ed.
A problem has developed having dogs walking in the snow. After not a long walk, the dog had problems with ice building up on the paws. Maybe booties will solve the problem?
Luckily we had several buckets handy. These volunteers were carrying water from the lake and climbing about 40 feet up the incline to reach the fire.
The fire was spotted from across the lake at Sandy Acres and two cottagers came across the lake in a boat to fight the fire--in the dark!
Fortunately, the water line from our submersible pump in the lake was close to the fire. We cut the line, turned on the pump and dragged the end to the fire. Without this pump close by, it is doubtful that the fire could have been contained, since the fire was advancing up the hill and there was lots of combustible brush around. We believe that our cottage would have been burnt out during the night as we were sleeping.
One of the volunteers pointed to a circular area that he thought was probably a 'hot spot' where someone was cooking and had a fire and was the start of the fire.
