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?

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: http://canberrafires.xsnet.org/galleries.html Edit: gah, fixed the "more images" url. Last edited by Dave; 08-18-2003 at 07:30 AM.. |

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.

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. |

Forest fires are kinda like nature's forest enema. Unfortunately, people and/or houses sometimes are in the wrong place at the wrong time...

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.
