Spent two weeks in BC and also another time in Alberta. Heavy fuels wind driven fires. Firefighter safety was a paramount concern. We were well received and we got a chance to see a system under severe stress. These new Ontario fires are in very remote areas. The Logistics problems must be challenging. I wish them well.

Logistics up “Nort” are very challenging. Most of the time it’s cut your way in and build a road at the same time or wait until it burns to something you can anchor and try to hold.. oh and the black flies will almost carry you away..

Some fires are blowing up in Central BC with a pretty impressive PyroCB forming in just the last two hours RAMMB/CIRA SLIDER: Satellite Loop Interactive Data Explorer in Real-time with GOES-16 and Himawari-8 Satellite Imagery


It looks like its either the Pear Lake or Fiftynine Creek fire, according to this map from the BCWFS: BC Wildfire Service
