The campfire ban has been lifted on Vancouver Island. But the forests are still very dry and Port Alberni still has a Moderate to High Fire Danger rating (as does most of southern Vancouver Island.)

Please continue to be safe and smart out there!

…oooohhhhh this s____t FINALLY might start hitting the fan! I, and many others, have been pointing out the monopoly that BC company ConAir has over firefighting contracts for Canadian governments for years.

Coulson Aviation has been doing firefighting aircraft for decades and has never been picked by its own home province on a long term contract.

The bias has been glaring.

Looks like they're going to fight it out in Court in Saskatchewan!

Sask. government paid $100M too much for new firefighting planes, B.C.-based manufacturer says | CBC News

Once again, the afternoon inflow winds come up the inlet and have a direct role in wildfire smoke exposure.

Looks like there is smoke being drawn up from the south possibly Washington state?
