My neighbour's son, Jeff, is on an absolute tear on Twitter at the moment.

He is posting a lot about Direct Energy Weapons & "Jewish Space Lasers" causing the forest fires as part of a larger climate-change conspiracy...

With all the climate denial, anti-semitism, racism etc., I couldn't help but think of this scene from Austin Powers 🤣

I guess that's my twisted mind.

is blocking volunteers from supplying resources to fire victims

The director of wildfire operations in BC Cliff Chapman admitted that they started the fires with a planned ignition and that they did this even though they knew strong winds were approaching.
Since then the RCMP have ordered local police to stop anyone from entering the area in an effort to “prevent looting”.

14 million hectares of land have burned in Canada so far this year.

I keep seeing that number in wildfire reporting. I have no concept of what that size means. I know it's huge but not in a meaningful way.

Could anyone who does compare it to something understandable?

These briefings are a master class in crisis communications. I'm grateful for the information but over and above that I am deeply impressed with the communication skill, professionalism and compassion on display. Wow.

cbc.ca/news/canada/british-col In Canada, local mayors are responsible for the budget and expectations of each Fire Department. Wildfires are Environmental issues and as such require a unified, inter-provincial plan and approach. The reason most Canadian wildfires are burning unattended is lack of mandate in budgeting. Like the RCMP, Canada requires a priority budget.

I'm looking at the Air Quality Index for the Okanagan wildfires, and wondering how long it will be before the impact is seen in lower Canadian life expediencies.

*I have friends & family in the region whom I would like to live long, happy lives.

Best friend is in a very dangerous area of BC with a fire close. He’s in the mountains about a half hour drive from Penticton. His truck is packed to evacuate and waiting for an order to go. There are currently 366 fires in BC and it’s 4th day extreme heat. Graphic from BC government show he’s in red area of extreme danger. Wow.
