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%.

Wildfires increase as lightning hits hot, dry areas of southern B.C. The latest figures: 85 active blazes, up from 68 on Wednesday, with about two dozen classified as burning out of control. #BC #BCwildfires #ClimateCrisis #MarkCarney www.ctvnews.ca/vancouver/bc...
Seen from my deck, a wildfire burning across the lake. Sure hope they get it out. Currently it's .75 hectares and out of control.

That fiery glow isn’t just a sunset — it’s the haze from a wildfire burning near Port Alberni, now at 2,156 hectares. Thinking of everyone affected and the crews working to contain it. Stay safe, Vancouver Island ❤️

Dear fireban geniuses —
whether you’re from BC, out-of-province, or the US:
if you’re still lighting fires during a ban, you’re not edgy — you’re just reckless.
this isn’t camping. it’s ignorance.
put it out.

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
My island is on fire 😥
Human-caused, of course.
Homes and wildlife are in jeopardy.
I am wishing safety and strength to everyone affected and sending IMMENSE gratitude to the firefighters battling this blaze day and night.
