A huge thank you to all of the first responders risking their lives fighting these unprecedented fires. Stay safe everyone!

Turn on the water sprinkler system by July to prevent wild fires while keeping forest floors clear of tinderwood. It doesn't cost as much than the disaster occurring now.

I pray these people have support and all they need to rebuild their lives and I am heart broken for all the animals as well. Come on this is how we fought fires 50 years ago why not use technology and open minds. Save our Country I commend all the firefighers and volunteers, they are amazing and saving so many lives and structures. I am thankful it's not like Hawaii.

Look at the pictures of the destruction 2:16:51 ! Something very odd!

Maybe instead of constantly sending millions of tax payers dollars to countries most Canadians will ever see, we could use our tax dollars to help Canadians in wildfires

[perrycomeau]

No clear cutting. Be selective.
Keep the underbrush clear. Plant trees.
Set up a network of forest sprinklers. Be unique.

My air bnb will not refund! If these politicians' home's were burned, we would see something more. Litton BC is still waiting for the same promises.. that was 2 years ago.

You should ban your mountain pine forests within 30 km of inhabited areas.
Cool temperate latitudes: Home of the deciduous deciduous forests

Where on Earth is Cool Temperate?

Temperate latitudes extend in both the northern and southern hemispheres between the 45th parallel and the Arctic Circle at 66.5º. There is a strong seasonal climate that is determined by the height of the sun and the length of the day. Summers are warm and bright, while winters are cold and dark. Rain can fall in all seasons.
The cool-temperate zone with predominant deciduous deciduous forests covers a wide strip in North America that stretches between northern California and the Canadian province of British Columbia to the east coast. In Europe, it runs as a broad band across western and central Europe and southern northern Europe across Eurasia to East Asia. In the southern hemisphere, southern Chile, south-east Australia with Tasmania and the South Island of New Zealand are among the cool-temperate latitudes.

Incidentally, although numerous species were also displaced to warmer, southern regions in North America and East Asia during the Ice Age, the flora in these two areas is far more species-rich than in Europe. This is due to the favorable mountain range of the Appalachian and South China Highlands, which stretch north-south, while the west-east trend of the Alps presented a barrier to species returning from the south.

What is the difference between the west side and the east side climate?

On the west sides of the continents, low-pressure systems that form over the vast expanses of ocean bring rain year-round. Temperatures in summer and winter are moderate. In the interior of the continents, on the other hand, there is a continental, cool-temperate climate. While low-pressure spurs bring little rain in winter, summer rain falls from storm clouds that form over the country from the intense heat.

The extratropical east side climate is determined by cold air incursions throughout the year. In winter, the cold air comes from the interior of the continents, in summer it comes from the polar latitudes. Precipitation reaches its maximum in summer.
The mean annual temperatures in the cool-temperate latitudes are 8–12 °C. The average of the warmest months reaches a uniform 15 °C to just over 20 °C.

Why do deciduous trees do well in the temperate zone?

With their autumnal leaf shedding, the deciduous trees of the cool, temperate latitudes adapt to the cold season, because the low temperatures that prevail here would freeze the leaves. In the long summers, the trees grow and build up material reserves that they can use to sprout and bear fruit after the winter. They need a growing season of at least 120 days, i.e. days when the mean daily temperature is above 10 °C. In the oceanic regions, deciduous deciduous forests of oak, beech, hornbeam, birch and ash are widespread.
