It’s been a very dry year for British Columbia. There’s very little snowpack up in the mountains and the lower mainland is already running out of water in our natural reservoirs. A heat wave has been scouring the province for several weeks now, creating a huge fire risk throughout our forests.
There are currently 197 fires burning throughout British Columbia, with about 30 expected to ignite each day. There was even a short-lived forest fire on campus due to a lit cigarette. It seems nature is a tinderbox right now.
Normally the effect of large fires don’t immediately impact Vancouver and it’s surrounding cities. However, smoke was recently pushed into the lower mainland by changing wind conditions. I was out of the province for the worst of it, but I saw pictures of Vancouver shrouded in smoke. An air quality advisory was put in place due to all the smoke and ash.
I flew into Vancouver on Wednesday night, and even by then I could still see signs of the forest fires.
What may look like a dark rain cloud is actually a thick blanket of smoke. As we got closer to Vancouver, the plane descended and I realized the gloomy reality.
