Wildfire CLAWR

[femme.fatale.]

I just spoke to a customer who used to work for forestry and actually fought wildfires. That was a very interesting conversation. He explained to us how black spruce / pine is the most intense fire as they grow in layers - and all layers will burn and with the low humidity and high heat we've had lately created a perfect storm which explains why it grew so quickly! A deciduous forest will generally not burn in the same way. So interesting.

Is that media approved? Or off of public domain.

We were in pretty good shape at wolf lake plant, just south of primrose.

I will post these here as they release them. I work full time in all 3 affected areas and have been back at work since Tuesday.

Looks like the fire is still burning, but not growing much. They posted a photo of the fire and the KBR (Ken Baker Road) one side is charred, one side is plant. They must have worked like dogs to save that plant.
