I heard a stat yesterday that the area burned so far in Canada is equal to the size of Vancouver Island plus all the maritime provinces together. Boggles the mind.

So far my 50km diameter area is lucky - lots of small fires that the volunteer brigade have managed to stop. Multiple started by the same idiot according to the brigade captain when we met earlier today. There have been a lot of significant fires about 100km from us and this press photo shows one spectacular fire a little over 100 km away that has killed two and destroyed 16 homes so far.

Sixteen homes lost in Tara as Queensland bushfire emergency continues

Authorities have confirmed at least 16 homes have been destroyed in Tara, with dry lightning storms also causing havoc in the region for firefighters overnight.

I've removed the filters to show only the red dot, out of control fires

Vic Balshaw · Nov 17, 2023

Never good George and one would have thought the snow would have helped kill them.

fubar57 · Jan 30, 2024

Still 91 fires burning but all are under control

Shortround6 · Jan 30, 2024

You need more snow????

fubar57 · Jan 30, 2024

Actually yes. We are over 60% below snow pack levels. A lot depends on spring run off including supplying my mine with water in the summer. At this time of year I should have over 3ft on my lawn and now I have less than a foot

Hopefully you can get closer to what you need in the next few months, bad as that may make driving/traveling.
