As this spring and summer have made painfully clear, wildfires are a persistent threat to our environment, communities, and natural resources. These devastating events wreak havoc to some degree every year, threatening loss of life while causing extensive property damage and harm to ecosystems. While wildfires can occur due to a variety of factors, one significant contributor that is often overlooked is the presence of hot spots on off-highway vehicles (OHVs). These vehicles, including all-terra

Environment Canada warns B.C. coast to prepare for heavy winds, rain after drought
VANCOUVER — Coastal British Columbia is experiencing its first fall storm of the season and while significant winds and rainfall are typical for the area, an extended drought has created conditions that are "more out of the ordinary," says an Environment Canada meteorologist. The drought has weakened trees, Alyssa Charbonneau said in an interview Monday. It leaves the potential for more fallen trees or branches, setting off power outages and the potential for injury or damage, she said. BC Hydro

A few hundred people are still in the dark Sunday after those storms came through the area. While there's not much widespread damage, some areas were still hit pretty hard. It was just a puddle on Sunday night, but neighbors said Saturday night and Sunday morning it was crazy to see how high the water got as it flowed across Buckingham Road in Lochearn. Even crazier was watching how some people took chances driving through it. Other places around the Baltimore area also had flooding problems. The rain, wind and flooding caused by Tropical Storm Ophelia made its way through the area on Saturday and early Sunday.
