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!

A screenshot of the BC Wildfire Fire Danger map shows very low on the north island, low in the central, moderate in parts of the central and south and high in the Victoria and Duncan areas.

…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!

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?

My latest blog and letter to the editor.

I really do wonder how many people will die before governments around the world get serious about ending the use of fossil fuels. We are now at the point where only very quick and immediate shutting down of the fossil fuel industry can reasonably save us from an absolutely horrific future.

We've already completely changed the present and locked in more unknowns for decades to come...

How many bullets do we dodge before we take away the fossil fuelled gun?

Poor air quality this morning. Smoke in the air likely from the new fire West of Nanaimo.
If you can stay indoors while the inversion is on this morning, It should lift before noon and we should get some fresh air with the breeze this afternoon. Still very hot 35° C or more.
