But that hasn't stopped her fromhelping oversee efforts to provide up to one-thousand meals a day to feed firefighters battling the Kelowna area wildfire and the people evacuated from their homes.

She says it feels good to help out.
Fire officials say more than 170 structures have been lost in the blaze, which is still burning out of control.
