I just got a message from a buddy in the next city along that there's a wildfire not far from his house, close to the edge of town near a large natural parkland. I checked and it's under control but still burning, with heavy smoke. We need a large, regional rainstorm, hold the lightning.
Canada's pretty well equipped to fight wildfires, but too many at once can get bad. I'm not in a forest - far from it. Here it's meadows with scattered copses of pines, with some old growth forest 5 km away across a salt marsh. It's nice good to see around though, where people's homes are closer to the danger areas.
