Fire - Mother Nature Not Playing Nice this Summer
Posted On 08/04/2009 10:13:50 by redhatqueen

70,400+ hectares of land have been consumed by fires here in our province.

Over 700 fires burning (it wa 500 a day ago)

Some people here were evacuated for 12 days and 2 days after returning home they were evacuated again, this time for at least the rest of this week. Last Friday the Terrace Mtn. fire was 90% contained and now it's just 30%. Over 7,050 hectares have burned.

A couple of towns have been evacuated due to fires less than 1km away.

We are losing our beautiful pine trees. The pine beetle turned the pine needles to dry kindling.

I hope the fire situation has improved.  Hope your safe.


Thank you... yes we are safe as we are across the lake from the fire. In 2003 the fires were on our side.

So sorry you all are facing so much bad fires.  Our area has been wet all year. We have had weather like fall all summer.  Our prayers are with you all. Be safe.
