The fast start to the summer fire season.

[broke'n'nuts]

Pritchard on evac order, as is Falkland, along with the northern part of Westside rd. Same fire just spread out that far. Vernon and Armstrong on alert, along with the silver creek area.

Currently in revelstoke on holidays with the fam. Smoke is getting thicker it seems. Sure hope the forecast is true with the rain over the weekend. We’re thinking of heading home early.

Maybe 25 drops fell this morning in Salmon Arm. Temp has dropped and it is in the low 20's. Still quite smokey here

Seems to me if they put half the effort into putting these fires out as they put into the Corona BS maybe we wouldnt have to breath smoke all fkn summer.

We are doomed @ all levels, without take charge leadership in a serious situation what outcome should be expected. Ever noticed in BC the updates Monday morning when the admin is back to work.

Something like our avalanche reports, Monday morning all is well......admin is back to work.

OK it's Monday morning, lets have a look @ the fire situation......kinda like covid..... Then it is OMG! Fire like co-vid should respect working hours of 9-5 Monday to Friday.

All of this I look @ leadership & who is in charge, it is top down......we are doomed.

I am sure the boots on the ground would like to be just giving it but with the big bosses they don't see it what way. Have to have protocols, meetings, more protocols, and more meetings. Wouldn't surprise me it they had to have a meeting after lunch break. Another meeting at the end of the day to see if they met their objectives.

Fire fighters don’t have that many meetings. After being in Fort Mac for 2 weeks for the fires. Coordination and planning in the background is huge.

That's exactly what I meant to say. It is becoming top heavy like all government run things.

No masks for the summer they say, but so smokey you might actually need one.

Wtf

Wtf

At least that would be a good reason

Yeah I’d actually wear a mask for that reason. I will never mask to buy a Slurpee

Wearing a mask for protection against a virus is like using a chain link fence to stop mosquitoes.

What about wearing one for smoke?

Get ready. I can see the coming climate lockdowns.

In china and other countries with heavy smog they been wearing them cloth masks for years. Not sure why, it doesn't stop anything, Gives that sense of security to them.

Yeah might need a full respirator!


Looks like my complaining worked though, smokes gone today in my Area at least.
