Its a bad scene up here, the fire fighters have done a good job in saving structures and I dont think anyone has lost their life as of yet. Massive fires burning through ranch country and killing alot of livestock and displacing thousands of people. It hasn't rained in months across the entire south of the province extending to the north. The heat has dried up vegetation making it tough for ranging cattle to find enough feed.
There is a ban on outdoor activities such as motorcycles, quads,etc because there are still enough idiots around using the bush while smoking, having campfires, cutting firewood, causing the government to impose a backcountry ban.
On the upside to all the fires will come a renewed forest bringing habitat for all the animals, period. Some of these area's have needed fire badly for 50 years or more, building a fire hazard that has never existed until recently.
No rain in sight.
