The amount of fires has nothing to do with the pine beetle. Pine beetle kill is spotty in BC. Fires are burning north to south.
What pine beetle kill does is causes fires to be fast and furious.
We got our fingers crossed in Jasper..so far we've been lucky.
Just need to squeak through a few more days of dry weather then the rain/ showers are forecast. With nights dropping to low single digits we may survive this year.
