@ActiveFiresBC You're forgiven. This is important stuff.

It's Tuesday, which means today is a great day to test your smoke and carbon monoxide alarms! Monthly testing helps ensure they are working properly in the event of an emergency. #TestTuesday #FireSafety

[BC Wildfire Service @BCGovFireInfo]

@RiflesRegiment Generation Kill. Excellent.

[The Hotshot Wake Up @HotshotWake]

Incredible footage from the Adams Complex Fires outside Kamloops, British Columbia.
#canada #wildfire
In the first video we see a “firenado” along the lake shore. The cool temperatures of the water combined with the convective heat of the fire created this incredible phenomenon.

The second video shows the fire activity durning the daytime. A fire camp of nearly 400 personnel had to be evacuated as the fire approached. Wild scenes.

Thanks for the subscriber that shared these 📷.
Cheers brother. 🙏🍻

[Central Ok Emergency @CO_Emerg]

Fire crews made good progress today while Canada Task Force One started assessing damage. Crews will keep working overnight. We are grateful for the support of the task force, BC Wildfire, RCMP, local & out-of-town crews. No changes to evac. orders or alerts expected tonight.

Things being stolen from Scotch creek from the BCWS include:

pumps, sprinklers, hoses and ATVs that have been taken are critically impacting the effectiveness of structural protection.#BCwildfire #scotchcreek

[TM @TMFBCEM]

The fact that this even needs to be posted in the first place is very disappointing. Risking lives for no good reason.

[BC Wildfire Service @BCGovFireInfo]

The BC Wildfire Service and multiple structural fire departments remain engaged in active and critical firefighting operations in the North Shuswap area. We urgently ask for the public's assistance by not moving or taking any firefighting equipment.

[TM @TMFBCEM]

FortisBC's EOC and Operations Crews have been supporting wildfire response activities in several areas of the province. My thoughts are with my colleagues in the first responder and emergency management communities, and of course anyone impacted by these fires. Please take care.
