Today is your day Boomer! I have to give credit to the BC Forest Fire crews who quickly extinguished a blaze last week. The fire was located in two spots on a ridge above our summer cabin, and whem the helicopters and buckets came, they came in full force! We watched them for three straight days filling buckets and dropping water for about 13 hours a day. Three choppers in total with pilots that only took breaks for fuel and food. The only downside was the noise, which made socializing at times difficult. It was quick, efficient and impressive. We also had support from the local fire department who inspected our cabin property, left a trailer-load of equipment nearby, and promised to douse any flames, embers and ash coming down from above. How bad was it? On one day, the lake was completely covered in brownish ash! Great job crews! Thanks so much from a Boomer, like me, who values his family cabin greatly! Cheers.
