Kamloops offers free home FireSmart assessments, rebates for homeowners
Kamloops Fire Rescue educator Josh Cowen said firefighters are “quite concerned” about the possibility of wildfire in the city, particularly if a blaze on the outskirts of town sparks embers that land in yards, starting spot fires.

Satellite data reconstruct 2025 LA fires, showing rapid spread in first day

A severe drought, powerful Santa Ana winds and a not-fully-extinguished brushfire combined to create the most destructive wildfire in the history of Los Angeles in early 2025. The Palisades Fire, which fully ignited on Jan. 7, destroyed Los Angeles' Pacific Palisades neighborhood, killing 12 people and burning 6,800 homes and buildings.

This year's provincial budget is "essentially" the status quo for wildfire preparation and response, the finance minister says. That is upsetting to residents in the north still recovering from last year's devastating fires.

@ai6yr Scientific article.
Explainer for rapid growth of 2018 Camp Fire in northern California. No paywall.

10km =~ 6.2 miles!!!!

"Abstract Extreme fire spread during the 2018 Camp Fire in northern California was driven by organized long‐range spotting tightly coupled to plume dynamics. Doppler radar and satellite observations reveal distinct regions of ember lofting and downwind fallout within the convective column, forming direct pathways for firebrand transport several (up to 10) kilometers ahead of the main fire front. These firebrands ignited dense clusters of new fires that merged into rapidly advancing lobes, producing abrupt surges in fire growth that exceeded expectations based on surface wind and fuel conditions alone."
