The water system is run by electric pumps. If the power is cut, the pumps don't work, and there's no water. If the power stations are offline, either through fault or design, you are screwed, mate.

This is the weakness of an integrated supply grid with few large stations, instead of independent regional grids with their own smaller stations. The costs and logistics are much, much lower, but in catastrophic situations like this one, everything stops working and the only thing that can be done is to run to the nearest source of water and dive in until the fire front passes over you.

God, those poor people. Fire storms don't stop until everything that can be possibly eaten, is. A strong enough fire can eat a brick wall like it's dry wood.
 
Come to see the leafs getting raked because they did not rake the leaves, stay for forestry sperging. Thanks farms!

Now will this or the Mutt Grill in Ooga Booga, I mean Hawai, last for longer? Place your bets.
 
Even the Germans notice.


Absolutely no mention of Trudeaus abysmal prevention policies, or the total ossification of the nation's ability to handle the crisis.

Being a WEF good boy is even stronger then then the race card apparently
 
I am really hating how often it's dry and smoky here. It's giving me a harder time breathing. I captured the wildfire smoke in Red Deer in a time-lapse video. Even when it rains it smells awful. Fortunately it's not Sulfur Dioxide and just plain wildfire smoke because I remember people suffering such complications from so-called wildfire smoke. Also the mention Yellowknife had a temporary evacuation over a wildfire threat.
 
A couple in Shuswap allege that a controlled burn destroyed their property. The local authority appears in a zoom video and discusses how the (expected) wind caused the burn to go out of control.

Description: In today’s report, I sit down to interview Stef and Jorne Weibe, a couple from Celista, BC, who share shocking details about the origin of a fire they and others in their community recently fought in order to protect their properties. Contrary to the 'climate change is the culprit' theory popular with mainstream media and net-zero pushing politicians, the Weibes describe how an intentionally-lit backburn fire threatened them and destroyed many properties in the Shuswap area.
 

Quebec man facing arson charges in northern wildfires detained ahead of bail hearing

A Quebec man facing arson charges for allegedly setting forest fires during the province’s unprecedented wildfire season will remain detained ahead of a bail hearing on Monday.

Brian Pare, 37, of Chibougamau, Que., was arrested and charged with two counts of arson on Thursday. Prosecutors allege Pare deliberately ignited a fire or explosion “on several occasions” in a forest between July 8 and Tuesday. A second arson charge is in connection with a fire at a fishing cabin around May 31 that was not owned by the accused.

Provincial police say they are trying to determine whether the fires allegedly started by Pare were connected to the major wildfires near Chibougamau, located 450 kilometres northwest of Quebec City, that led to the evacuation of its 7,500 residents in June.

“The investigation isn’t over, we still have to see if there’s a link to the principle forest fires that burned in the Chibougamau area,” Sgt. Hugues Beaulieu said in an interview Friday. “There’s a lot of work to do, but for the moment we were able to recommend two charges.”

Beaulieu said the case started with the investigation into the fishing cabin fire, during which police found evidence that led them to Thursday’s arrest. Along the way, Beaulieu said, police were assisted by behaviour analysis experts, criminal profilers, and forensic psychologists.

Chibougamau Mayor Manon Cyr says she was relieved when she learned of Pare’s arrest. In an interview Friday, the mayor said the fires that Pare is accused of starting were unrelated to the two massive wildfires that forced the evacuation of the town in June.

“We’ll see what’s said in court on this,” Cyr said. “But the big fires that caused the evacuation were caused by lightning.” However, Pare is accused of deliberately starting fires at a time when the government had temporarily banned open-air fires and forbade people from entering the forests.

Chibougamau was evacuated on June 6 for about one week because of wildfires and poor air quality.
Quebec had an unprecedented forest fire season this year, with almost 15,000 square kilometres burned.
The force’s major crimes unit is handling the investigation, Beaulieu said.

This report by The Canadian Press was first published Sept. 8, 2023.
