Behind the Scenes
While wildfires are unfortunately common in British Columbia, this year’s season started much earlier and stronger than usual. As we do every year, we make sure to provide coverage of nearby fires to help keep residents safe while also providing tips for prevention or if you find yourself in dire situations. Huge thanks to all of the firefighters and other personnel fighting these fires and helping with evacuees.
This weekend with the weather being uncooperative which results in the fires being unpredictable, we have a team working overtime to make sure relevant information is available to you and other readers.
