Every summer I smell smoke from some fire in B.C , so it definitely can happen anywhere .

We have tons of forest interface in the heavily populated areas of BC. Imagine a Jasper-class fire on the North Shore, or the effect of a howling outflow wind on a fire along the northern interface in the Fraser Valley. We've been lucky so far, but when the risk factors align, watch out.

When one thinks about this, so many places have burned. Slave Lake, Fort McMurray & Jasper. All places you know from your days in Edmonton. We live in a very unique tipping point in time. We better get it correct.

Lytton.

Yes, indeed. My faith in the Global political system and global industry is very low. One wants profit the other is corporately owned.

1000%. The similarity in geography is unbelievable. North Van would explode into flames like Palisades.
