  2. The province is a tinder box. So there will be no walking or biking on the trails we have been planning to go on, at least until October.

    And no cool place to walk Joni through our woods either. But I get it.. It's scary, honestly.

    "The Nova Scotia government has announced it's banning hiking, camping, fishing and use of vehicles such as ATVs in the woods as of 4 p.m. Tuesday due to an elevated wildfire risk.
    Camping in campgrounds is still permitted, but trail systems through woods are off-limits under the new rules.
    The rules are in place for provincial Crown and private land until Oct. 15 or until weather conditions allow them to be lifted.
    The fine for violating the ban is $25,000."

    Firefighters prepare for burnout operation on 7 Mile Lookout Fire; burn may be lit Sunday
    BY 2025 #7MileLookoutFire on JULY 26, 2025

    “…Today, fire crews will complete final preparations for the planned burnout operation. If weather conditions allow, fire managers could proceed with the full burnout operation as early as Sunday. Then fire managers plan to ignite vegetation between the 7 Mile Lookout Access Road and the bulldozer line south of Eagle Trail and the fire’s edge. This strategic burnout operation will allow fire managers to guide the fire safely down to established control lines, rather than risk unpredictable flare-ups from heat pockets. By directing the fire’s movement, crews can maintain control and reduce the threat to nearby communities. Once the burn is complete, firefighters will continue mop up operations…”

  7. Massachusetts residents are being asked to conserve water because of wildfires, drought

    With a drought and wildfires plaguing Massachusetts, Gov. Maura Healey is telling people to conserve water to help firefighters.

    "'Drought conditions and wildfire risks are ongoing. There are steps everyone can take to minimize risk, protect their communities, conserve water and support our firefighters,' Healey said in a release. 'Residents, businesses and facilities should minimize their water use as much as possible, and there should be no outdoor fires at this time. Our firefighters are working hard and making considerable sacrifices to battle these fires on our behalf. Let’s do all we can to avoid making their jobs any harder.'

    Here's what to know.

    What's the latest on wildfires burning in the state?

    "There are about 60 wildfires burning in Massachusetts as of Wednesday, according to National Interagency Fire Center data which tracks wildfires across the United States.

    "That's down from Nov. 9 when state fire officials reported 175 #wildfires that continued to be an issue across Massachusetts. Mass Wildlife stated that there were 203 brush fires in Massachusetts during the month of October, which is an increase of about 1,200% over the average. Typically, there are only about 15 brush fires in October.

    "On Nov. 10, the Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) stated, 'Effective immediately and continuing until further notice, the (DCR) has closed Boxford State Forest to visitors in order to fight an active wildfire.' That wildfire burnt 150 acres of land.

    How severe is the drought in Massachusetts?

    "As of Nov. 7, the Connecticut River Valley's (#Connecticut, #Massachusetts, #NewHampshire, and #Vermont) level was raised to a Level 2 (significant drought). The central and northeast regions of Massachusetts have been raised to a #Level3, which constitutes a '#CriticalDrought.' Cape Cod is considered to be 'abnormally dry' at the moment."

  12. #InwoodPark Ablaze as #BrushFires Reach Historic Levels Across #NYC

    Firefighters have responded to more than 200 brush fires in the past two weeks, including nearly two dozen in #VanCortlandtPark in The Bronx, as the city reckons with an historically dry and fiery season.

    ‘We Could Smell It From Our Apartment’

    "The recent brush fires over a historically dry stretch included two separate ones over four days in wooded parts of the Bronx’s sprawling Van Cortlandt Park that have local residents and officials concerned about what could be coming before significant rain finally arrives.

    "'Remarkably dry conditions in October and so far in November have resulted in a historic amount of brush fires over the last two weeks,' FDNY Commissioner Robert Tucker said in a statement on Wednesday, hours before another brush fire erupted in Inwood Hill Park. 'Due to a significant lack of rainfall, the threat of fast spreading brush fires fueled by dry vegetation and windy conditions pose a real threat to our members and our city."

    I didn’t realize how many #cameras are now spread across the state.

  18. June 3, 2024, and it's supposed to be ~105 today and summer has officially arrived.So has fire season. Not sure where exactly but these shots, ordered clockwise beginning in lower left quadrant, are looking up around Shea Blvd or even the Verde Valley near the casino? taken from top of S Mountain. Look at fire progression in the 20 minutes or so that the shots cover.

  19. Some of the remaining pictures I took from our weekend getaway. The #BrucePeninsula is a beautiful place. Lion’s Head is a great place.
    I do absolutely hate how much litter we saw though as more and more people showed up. I guess this is why they’re enforcing paid parking so much.

    I’m very glad we got to go on this trip. My partner will be very busy next month, so it was nice to get away before another #FireSeason starts

  20. After having been forced to take it slow last week because of this blasted head cold, next week we've got the week off "work" so that we can get some "work" done around the place in preparation for fire season. Luckily we're on the edge of the worst areas - but still local indications are that it's going to be an utter bastard of a summer.

    Which meant we were very pissed off when yet again Melbourne based news pretended that Western Victoria simply doesn't exist:

    theguardian.com/australia-news

    Showed the same map in the news the other night as is in this article. Talked about the obvious big areas of concern in the NT, QLD and NSW, then went onto say that there was also areas of concern in SA and Gippsland.

    So the entire of the Victorian Mallee doesn't exist it seems.

  22. Hi people, did you order your air filters yet? Get them, you will need them this year. Also look up Firewise landscaping and house fire prevention tips. There are many, many, many things you can do to protect your home and property. Plz do not just leave it to the agencies, when they are overwhelmed they focus resources on the high priorities and this is why an eastern WA town burned off the map two years ago. Be proactive. #Firewise #FireSeason
