Pretty hard to sum up the depth of knowledge that was present at the #wildlandfirecanada conference 🔥So many amazing leaders, scientists and friends ♥️@IAWF
1/Terrible day for many of my friends and fire family all over western Canada today 😢
I can attest to feeling helpless in times like these 🔥In the days to come things will get harder before they get better ❤️🩹 These fire seasons are starting to break even the toughest of us 🔥
2/I ask of the public to be kind and show humanity to the responders 🙏🏽
Please appreciate all that responders do to keep you and your families safe ♥️ Sometimes though, the best thing to do is get out of the way and make sure that everyone is safe 😢
3/To the communities that have suffered losses, I hope that you are with your loved ones, safe from harm. Focus on that for now, the rest will need to wait ♥️ Take care of yourselves, friends and families ♥️
Reminder to everyone to listen to the direction of authorities and evacuate early🔥
Fill your gas tank ⛽️
Know your route out of town 🚗
Know where all your important documents and medications are 💊

If we want to walk the talk about expanding the pace and scale of prescribed fire, we could light off fires like the #SitesFire under today's conditions and burn five to ten thousand acres at a time with pretty minimal risk to anything. Not all #GoodFire is low intensity!
It's nice when the media shows compassion for what wildland fire personnel go through for a change 🔥 Careful though, don't read the comments or you'll be disappointed again 🙄 tinyurl.com/px2aamvk

Very early on July 10, 2017 I received a call about a lightning caused #fire 🔥 Revisited the Verdant Ck fire area today to see how the land has recovered in the past 7 year. Cool to see the #wildfire themed trail 🔥🌲🥾 @KootenayNP
Super excited to say that I passed my defense today. This research would not have been possible without the support & permission from @canoecreekband, my fabulous exam committee, the @LoriDanielsUBC lab group, & my family & friends. Stay tuned for a final version of my thesis🔥🌲
🔥 As wildfire season ramps up, it's crucial to be prepared #3: provide sufficient time to evacuate. This approach can alleviate some of the stress and enables community members to bring important items. Learn more in our Book. Link in Bio. #FNWEPtips#EvacuationEfforts
