one reason we're seeing less political debates around wildfires in british columbia is probably that our three worst wildfires seasons by hectares burned have all happened since 2017 and in one of those years an entire town burned down

tends to focus the mind

I’m not in this now, but I have been in various #BCwildfire years. It’s coincided with the strongest climate grief I’ve personally experienced.

So flood and fire season seem to be overlapping in B.C. this spring. I’m listening to rain fall and know our river is rising, but we’re fine so far. Thinking of all packing belongings and sand bags today. #bcstorm #bcwildfires

We are still looking for volunteers to fill sandbags for the community. Head over to KP Park in the Village of Salmo.
Make sure to read the Sandbag Safety for Volunteers Bulletin to know what to bring and what to wear:

💔 Crushed to hear about Darren Barefoot’s passing.

I would never have started blogging when I did, and continued with it as a career, if not for inspiration from Darren (his blog, Northern Voice, all of it).

My thoughts are with Julie & his loved ones.
