Headline of news article reads: Coulson praises MP for federal support

Thank you to Wayne Coulson for the shout-out! We’ve pushed hard for federal investment in a national aerial-firefighting fleet because communities need stronger initial-attack capability now. Coulson Aviation’s leadership keeps Canadians safer-let’s get this funded.#GordJohnsMP #BCWildfires #cdnpoli

How much damage to BC's timber value by "climate-driven wildfires, pests, and storms?

Could cut European timber value by up to 42%.

You can also wear an N 95 mask inside if the wildfire smoke is getting indoors

No other mass besides an N 95 is going to protect you from the .25 particles in wildfire smoke

Leaky surgical masks are useless

Cloth masks are useless

buy some N 95 masks

good for Covid too #bcwildfires
