The arrival of firefighters from Mexico yesterday was about more than wildfires. It was an example of what forging powerful international partnerships can do. Working together to protect communities here, just as our #BCWildfire Service has for our partners in times of need.

After everything we’ve seen in past wildfire seasons, if you still think it’s okay to break local fire restrictions, give your head a shake I urge folks to comply with local campfire bans It can be the difference between keeping your town safe and putting people in grave danger
