Is it the spruce bug that kills them all? I have heard you guys have had it. A spruce bud worm? My place spruce are falling over. PIA to clean up because of branches.
I was listening to logging podcast where Canadian said because socialist you guys are more proactive than us But only so much you can with millions of acres.

…there is no logging in national parks in Canada… The closest logging would be 100 miles away… What’s causing it is bug kill… what causes that is that it’s not getting cold enough in the winters anymore to kill the bugs…
… I was logging bug kill just south of the national parks over 40 years ago… This is not a new problem…

I am a part owner of a lake property on Sugar Lake Cherryville B.C, we were all given an evacuation order about 36 hours ago. I woke this morning to the news that it is believed our property's there have burned.

Hey Rocky, I'm so sorry about what I'm seeing on the news. Wish you and I could sit down and share a damn stiff drink for what we've lost. Hang in there mate.
Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says early reports indicate a third and perhaps up to half of all buildings in the historic Rocky Mountain resort town of Jasper have been destroyed in a wildfire.

You can’t own property in Canadian national parks… they Lease the land the house you own sits on… And only people that work in national parks can live there… There’s a lot of retired railway workers that live in that town… I wonder what’s gonna happen to them…

I hope they can get it before it gets to the pipeline. Jasper is a major rail hub as well....

Was on a site this morning running a time lapse satellite view of the western US & Canada. Smoke from all the fires then clear night shots, the size of some of them is shocking, far more burning now than the news is covering.

This is getting crazy, was a burn running 10 days ago less than a mile from me and there's one going at the commuter train station nearby. Smokes thick.
Last weeks drama, we got lucky, construction crew had cut several access roads to get into area's to repair washouts and reinforce things from last winters storms or this could have been real ugly. No buildings lost thankfully.
