BC continues to burn

>ASHCROFT, B.C. - Angie Thorne hugged her granddaughter as she looked for the first time at the blackened pit where her home of 21 years had stood just days earlier.

>She and a caravan of friends and family drove up to the Ashcroft Indian Reserve on Sunday to see what remained after a wildfire engulfed the community in central British Columbia, just west of Kamloops.

>"We made many memories here," Thorne said, falling silent as tears streamed from behind her sunglasses.

>She gestured to where she and her husband celebrated their silver wedding anniversary the summer before, then pointed out the lopsided picnic table her sons built 15 years earlier, somehow untouched by the flames.

>"Everybody complained about it and it's still sitting there," she said, letting out a laugh.

>"You couldn't get in or out of it. But they built it so we kept it, because that's what we do, right?"

>Most of the homes on the reserve were destroyed by the Ashcroft wildfire, one of hundreds still burning out of control across the province's southern and central Interior.

>More than 7,000 people had been ordered to evacuate by Sunday evening, and emergency officials predicted that number would likely rise as gusty winds and hot, dry conditions continue to fan the flames of more than 220 fires that have destroyed an area covering at least 230 square kilometres.

>Late Sunday, an evacuation order was issued for 100 Mile House, home to more than 1,500 people.

>Back at Thorne's property in Ashcroft, her granddaughter at one point let out a squeal: "Mittens!"
The family's seven-month-old cat had survived, her blackened whiskers singed and curled from the heat.

>"Bigger and better, eh babe?" Thorne said to her husband, surveilling the damage.

>He squeezed her shoulder: "We'll rebuild."

The forests are supposed to burn periodically. This is the result of supressing the natural order of the forest for this long.

If only humans could learn to live in balance with nature.

Is that really necessary?

Surely we could just contain them.

Maybe with some sort of wall.

Idk about that anon. May be more to it than just a natural cycle:

Despite all their efforts in harvesting and cutting dead wood, the area the fires are burning are pretty rugged and you really can't count on much to prevent natural disasters:

Supposedly, the first folk here would burn every thing. However they were successfully living as vagabonds.

>too nice

not really
there's a lot of vicious fucktardery going on in America's Hat
some really nasty rude shit that's been going on since before canada was a thing
who cares if you are polite if all you do is shit on everyone and then politely wipe your fat arse and rush off to stomp babies to death for a lark
fuck off

>>155750
oh

No one gives a fuck about Canada

>>156861
Except everyone.

Maybe this is Hell.

Anyone know what culture it is that believes Hell is both a frozen tundra and a lake of fire? Not at the same time, but that there are two versions of Hell?

Maybe planets do go through cycles of ridiculous warming where everything burns and then crazy cooling where everything freezes.

Idk if global warming is caused by humans or not, but maybe some ancient niggers knew about this and that's why Hell is what it is.

Dunno.

There's a wonderful Martin Mars waterbomber sitting over here on Sproat Lake. Too bad our provincial govt is too fucking corrupt. They refused to renew the contract with Coulson but spent money on a bunch of smaller planes with limited capabilities that costs 10X more. Oh, and the fact that this new company is owned by a party faithful was purely coincidental. Motherfuckers! Thank god that cunt was finally voted out.
