British Columbia Wildfires

Description

That is what the forests are like during the hot dry summers. This image was taken in 2015 and even since then the intensity of the fires has increased. I have included it because it demonstrates the power of a rank 5-6 fire. Humans cannot do anything to control a fire like this. We can only get out of its way. In order to try and control it they build fire breaks, essentially they cut a path through the forest maybe 30 m wide with machinery in hopes to slow down the progression. They will use roads and natural features like ridge lines and rivers as well. When you look at the aerial firefighting photos in this collection it is important to understand that those planes do not directly fight a fire like this. The provide reinforcement to the firefighters on the ground. The RJ and Q400 are applying retardant along the fire guards as an extra measure of defence. What we learned this year in BC is that these fires can act in a way that we cannot manage or even comprehend. Numerous times these super fires advanced 18 km in under a day. 18KM!! With hotter summers and dryer conditions it is frightening to think about whats next.
