🔥🛠️ Reflecting on the 2003 British Columbia Okanagan Mountain Park wildfire, we see a pivotal moment for wildfire management. This devastating event led to the implementation of new FireSmart programs and building material regulations, emphasizing the importance of preparedness and adaptation. Yet, many recommendations from post-event reports remain unimplemented. With 2023's record-breaking wildfire season, it's clear that change is crucial for future resilience.

It has been a long week of fire on top of an already long year of fire. On Saturday I drove along Highway 5A with Kelly Johnston near Kamloops, British Columbia with a closeup view of the Ross Moore Lake wildfire looming across the landscape. It was just one of many during BC’s record-breaking fire year. As we drove south, smoke clogged the air and the Air Quality Index reading shot up to hazardous. Sunday evening was the tragic news of the helicopter collision in Riverside County, California, adding to the list of firefighter and civilian wildfire-related deaths this year from around the globe. And over the past few days the shocking images of Maui burning emerged, with people fleeing and even more lives, homes, and history lost on this tropical island. The magnitude of the devastation can feel overwhelming and often at odds with our perception of "normal". We are left trying to understand what’s happening, why it’s happening, and what we can do. I began my work in the fire world to help communities learn about how to prepare for wildfires and minimize damage. For twenty years, I’ve been grateful to work alongside countless other professionals, community organizers, residents, and local leaders also dedicated to the mission of helping communities before, during, and after fires. Like a kaleidoscope making an intricate and beautiful pattern, there are so many of us working on this together. As the planet heats up, we are in a situation where we need to simultaneously do all we can to prepare for these events and reverse course to heal the planet. The task is large. Everyone has a role. We can grow the kaleidoscope even bigger. And there are resources to help.
