A ChatGPT definition of crisis communications: "Crisis communications is like the best fire extinguisher: always on standby, ready to douse rumors, light up facts, and guide everyone safely through the smoke of confusion."

Not too shabby if you ask me! 😂 What do you think?

Thank you so very much @BCGovFireInfo!!! Outstanding work and we appreciate everything 🙏

[BC Wildfire Service @BCGovFireInfo]

After significant efforts over many weeks, the McDougall Creek wildfire is now considered Being Held. A fire that is Being Held has received sufficient suppression action that it's not likely to spread past predetermined boundaries under current conditions. #Kelowna #WestKelowna
