Town of Lytton in Canada broke heat records. Now it is on fire.

6. It's fire season, so this was bound to happen

I just hope there is no loss of life and that one of the northern Pacific storms I was looking at earlier brings rain along with more southerly winds.

One thing you learn living out west is that it burns, it has to. People are just going to need to be a lot smarter about where they live, some areas being much more prone to fire than others.

It's either that or rethink the housing, itself.

(My part of town reeks of smoke tonight. I hope it's just fireplace people, it's been a little chilly for the last couple of days)
