- Fire crews continue to battle the the Shetland Creek and Williams Lake wildfires in British Columbia's Interior.
As helicopters dropped water on the fire near Ashcroft and Cache Creek, flames from another fire burned right up to the edge of homes in Williams Lake.
As of Tuesday, the Shetland Creek wildfire had destroyed more than 20 structures. Highway 1 remained closed between Ashcroft and Spences Bridge.

Cue creepy Armageddon music. lol. Funny how there were extreme heat waves and droughts as a kid growing up in western Canada, without the whole place catching fire.
there were lots of fires in the seventys
Here in the Kootenay region of southern B.C., we always have a few fires every year, with a really bad fire year every 10 years or so.
It is arsonists helping the climate narrative!
😂🎉
The average global temperature has risen considerably this century.
The fuel that feeds the forest fires is much more volatile now.
Seriously who burns forests every summer ?????
Fire is super cool. I don't mean cool in a temperature context.
Water is super cool. I don't mean cool in a temperature context.
Cool is super cool. I don't mean cool in a temperature context.
Just look to the climate criminals....I mean activists. Look at what that one dude in Quebec did last year. I wonder how many fires were started by them this year?
Guilbeault!!!
@@debinbc Last year it was 7 of his American ex-Greenpeace friends that also have felony convictions, that were allowed to cross and set over 100 fires in BC. Since he got away with it last year, I doubt he gave up.
The liberals of course 🤷🏻
Thanks! Dramatic video!
Please stay safe people!! Our thoughts are with you all, from Calgary. 🙏
Nice navigating on water drops. Professionals trying. It keeps up our hope
Agree 😔
for most people there are 4 seasons. for Canadians there's a 5th one called "fire season". lol
I JUST FEEL SORRY FOR WILDLIFE
Right ? That's why that fire fighting device is named the Bambi Bucket

Makes me weep ...
Capitalist-induced climate chaos doesn't care about a healthy planet or healthy wildlife. This is where we are at in our lives. Late Stage Capitalism, the elites who put profit over people are destroying the biodiversity of the planet and ecological resilience.
We need system change. Soon. It won't come from the top-down, unfortunately. It will need to be several sustainability groups in communities working together to build a better system, like One Small Town, Mutual Aid Networks, those who are familiar with "A Viable Society" framework by Peter Joseph or Library Socialism to rebuild the commons and take back our communities for the people, for the planet.
When it does come down to voting, vote for the anti-war, pro-worker party or candidate and avoid right conservative or neoliberal fascism coming into any more power.
This is a catastrophic situation. The God bless all our wildfire fighters and the aviation.
The smoke last night was crazy, and the thunder storm lasted throughout the night and till noon today.
I thought global news was done ?
Helicopters have to be the most expensive & useless way to fight a fire. May as well pee on it & hope for the best. Yes, the Mars family was effective but there must be some modern alternative to large volume delivery of water or flame retardant.
For a few decades, increasingly, all global warming things I've seen commented on by bods Armies of Bods who are Clueless, totally Clueless. "What if we dumped salt into the North Atlantic to Help?", "Build a Wall around Antarctica", "Use submarines to mix the ocean", "Irrigate the Sahara and put a Forest in it". Something like >99.9% of humans, just like you correctly quipped Helicopters pee, haven't ever even noticed that Earth is .............. a PLANET.
Instead of buying water bombers we sent 12.4 billion $ to Ukraine , someone said that equates to 250 of them with change left over
They're actually a lot better than water bombers, especially in BC where water bomber are far less efficent due to the rough topography.
MY PRAYERS
TO ALL LIVING ANIMALS
IN THE FOREST..I FEEL BAD FOR THE BEARS ,DEERS SEEN THEM SATURDAY NIGHT WHILE WE ARE EVACUATED SOUTH OF VANDERHOOF.
Arson!
🤡
The Bic lighter group has run out of oil sites in Alberta to en”lighten”.
🤡
smart cities agenda
😂
Yes more doom and gloom and exceptional fear mongering.
Great video
I’m suprised lightning can turn into 125,000 acres of land on flames
Even Vancouver Island is having a huge fire
Latent heat evaporation off ocean in some case adds to the heating of land. It's a transfer of heat from ocean to land by way of evaporation.
@grindupBaker It's arson, dude.
Scary music!!
Great camera work! Thank you!
Shuttered highways? Interesting. Closed would be more appropriate. Hoping for rain
I'd feel sorry for animals and peoples during the wildfire stuff just so sad for everyone 😔😭😭
CO2 is LITERALLY wildfire fuel
Heres an idea , lets preserve the Martin Mars by putting it in a museum....
British Columbia. The worst forest management in Confederation.

The portals of hell are starting to open up. 🔥 👿
Wildfires in BC and Trudeau's in Tofino , anyone check him for matches ???
CO2 is LITERALLY wildfire fuel
Why doesn't the government use cloud seeding by spraying silver iodide in the atmosphere which causes rain, it worked in UAE this past April
woe to you
oh earth and sea
Trudeau's arsonist are out in full force
Conservitives are the real enimie of canada 🇨🇦
that is a weird take on things.
@@dalelore2725 No, it is not. They did this last year and if you checked the police statistics you would see that roughly 75% of the fires last year were all intentionally set. One crazy eco-Terrorist in Alberta set over 50 (that we know of) by herself last year. The system is doing the usual catch and release for most of them, or giving them minimum sentences. This is why the propaganda media is using every euphemism in the book to cover up the arson, as they do about the fact most of the 300% increase in crime is coming from the "usual suspects". Anything to push the Liberal agenda.
he's on the case personally ,he's in Tofino ....
@@AussieBodybuilder get a life
May you all find safe ground,a prayer for people,amen
As of 2022, China 🇨🇳 was by far the world's largest *coal* consumer with 55% of energy use, an increase of 2% of the total energy from the year before.
So China is accelerating the use of coal despite it having signed the Paris agreement.
@NoleFam-xz1ebchingalingalink /👁️ 😑
@NoleFam-xz1eb we got ourselves a chigger
@NoleFam-xz1ebNope, the future belongs to Taiwan 🇹🇼, not China.
China has put more ev and chargers than Canada has….way more
China, India and the US are the worst polluters. Canada could cease to exist and it wouldn't do a single thing to slow climate change. Can't slow nature. Thankfully we are nearing the end of the heating up cycle. Should be ok going forward. Now, the climate crazies will try to take credit for it but don't let them.
Love the scary music lol
MARSHMALLOWS
The fire was caused by a human not lightning
It was caused by Arthur Pewtey, "Bide A Wee" 34 Nutley Drive, Purley, Surrey. He was spotted driving an army tank with flame thrower feature into the forest, a dead giveaway.

The libs. Really gotta stop playing with lighters 🙄
The B.C. government needs to start managing it's logging practices so the cut blocks form fire breaks - and planting more mixed specits, not just planting pine cornifers. Instead their mission is planting as many seedling per hector as possible so they can meet their " GREEN " messaging targets. Nothing has changed for the past 60 years....
This is what happens when you log everything in sight, and manage forests into the ground by logging mixed and planting pine. Get ready for 100 years of fires.
Um, Where I live in southern B.C., the trees they usually plant are fir and larch, with some spruce hemlock and cedar mixed in. The fires are in unmanaged, never been logged forests where 200 years of forest debris litters the forest floor, making for very hot forest fires.
Tree huggers stopped controlled burning and this is the result , pine trees are all dead from the pine beetles , so their not planting them
@nathanadrian7797 I'm glad to hear that. For 80 years or so pine was the prefered species to replant, for the reduced cost and fast regeneration. We will be paying the price for years and years to come. Typically, old growth forest is fire resistant. Hence the name old growth. 400 years plus. In Canada we have systematically logged most of the old growth forest out. A forest under 200 years old hasn't got the resistance. The book called The Golden Spruce is full of unbiased truth. Truth that could make an angel weep.
I live in southern BC as well and have been managing the forest on my property for 15 years and I'm still learning.
@SherryinAB I wasn't going to reply to your comment. My suggestion would be to educate yourself before you participate in conversations. "Tree huggers" don't interfere with controlled burns. For 80 years or more the government wouldn't allow prescribed burns because of the "timber value loss". In addition to refusing prescribed burns, the government sought to extinguish naturally caused forest fires, again citing " timber value loss " , instead of letting them burn naturally.
Essentially the government of Canada isn't capable of planning a dog fight in a kennel, let alone managing one. If that's not obvious research the mountain cariboo, or the condition of your own bank account.
@@truthspeaks623 actually I was wrong and so are you , bc does do controlled burnings, the BC Wildfire Service (BCWS), along with land managers, undertake fuel management activities, including the use of prescribed fire.
Your fear music is on par 😂
CO2 is LITERALLY wildfire fuel
poor forest management !!!!!
Fire in BC, Trudeau in BC. COINCIDENCE?
LOL
Thanks to our selfish negligence re Nature, this is rhe future of canadisn forests.
CO2 is wildfire fuel
Though the situation is like this, Canadians drive big trucks for 100 m shopping while discharging a lot of exhaust gs into the air. What goes around comes around.
Nice music😅
OMG what scary music! Has the PMO set up an emergency command post in Tofino? How many water bombers can we buy if we trade in a $9 MILLION DOLLAR useless condo in NYC?

Sorry. Not interested in reading a video.

It’s been this way for a long time stop acting so surprised about fires people in BC
No it has not been this way for a long time. I've been around for over 55 yrs and there was never this amount of fires even in the hottest summers! Stop your lying!
