I was just about to say that you should be high-tailing your ass outta there ... Nice pictures ... Crazy how it can spread so quickly if given the chance.

At first glance, the first picture you posted looks like a painting of a plane going down! Upon further inspection though, I realized what it was...thats a great photo!

great pictures.

but its such a shame that the fires are so destructive.

i´m from Sydney, so i know just how big bushfires affect you. and my heart goes out to all of those affected.

Australian bush needs the fire to regenerate, so in a (harsh) way, the fires are necessary. but how do these fires affect the beautiful BC wilderness?

Those are just spectacular pictures. The two with the plane are my favorites. That second helicopter one is cool too.

Hopefully those fires will be out soon.

On the subject of bushfires, these are a few pictures from the fires that hit here back in january. They took out something like ~300 houses within about a 3KM radius of where I live. Left me without power for ~4 days.




The second one gives you an idea as to just how much smoke was around at the time.

More images avaliable at:

Edit: gah, fixed the "more images" url.

There were about 5 houses lost at the other end of my street. I guess we should just feel lucky that more people didn't die at the time (I believe the final total was 3).

I was watching those bombers filling up in Christina Lake this weekend. Pretty cool to see a plane filling with water at 50-70kph as it roars down the lake. I have never seen as many bombers flying in and out of the Castlegar tanker base as there are right now.

the choper in pic 6 with the long lanyard....refilled a few times in our lake will i was on vacation.

every morn' at 7:30-8ish he'd head out to the fires,and at night...same time.....12 hr. shifts i guess......he'd fly home.

he grabbed water on his way out three or four times...just for extra i guess.

he only did it in the morn so i figure they were pluckin' out of a diff lake.

still burnin' up there too.

Low growing brush needs to be cleared out so that the big trees can thrive. The underbrush can choke out the saplings. California has discovered that by strict fire prevention they've severely damaged the Sequoia (sp?) forests. Seems the seed pods need heat to open and germinate. Sad as it looks, some fires are neccessary. Damn shame about the human loss, though.

The weather down here at present indicates a very harsh summer ahead.
We have not had enough rain this winter to get us through and it is painful that despite past history there is still no fucking planning by those that are there to do so.
We can only wait and hope that lessons have finally been learnt.
