Now even with city fire protection and a hydrant on your property, you don't get fire insurance unless you are within the city's 10min response time map.Weather101 wrote: ↑Sun Sep 03, 2023 9:26 pm Climate change isn't real tho

Re: September 2023 Forecasts and Discussions
Rural areas are very susceptible to fire. With rare exception exceptions like Dawson City in the Yukon almost every single town in western Canada older than 100 years has burned down to the ground at least once,
My mom has been clearing brush around her place for the decade now. They are actually clearing land on Crown land, and though it is technically probably not legal Forestry unofficially encourages her to do it because it helps with fire breaks.

Re: September 2023 Forecasts and Discussions
Definitely, clear cutting and regrowing super dense and diseased mono forests with no fire breaks has been hugely benficial for the fire situation lately, as shown by the incredible results.
The far better answer is proper forest management, thinning trees, growing different species that are more resistant to disease, etc. Cutting down every tree in a block is a big reason for the way things are right now. Clearing some brush and fuel is not the same as clear cutting.

Re: September 2023 Forecasts and Discussions
You guys got frost yet?
Fun fact is that Kelowna gets frost August 3rd. At 1250m anyway. But most people live at lower eleations below 600m so don't get frost until October or even November near Okanagan Lake.

1) Clear cut all forests in BC to stop forest fires.
2) Blast every single mountain to prevent landslides.
3) Make the average elevation of BC be 800m to appease snow lovers.

Re: September 2023 Forecasts and Discussions
It's meant to imply that nature lovers are just hippy children who don't understand the realities of the world. Which IMO is exactly the opposite of the truth.
