#fire season

[studying-with-adult-adhd]

It's fire season. Let's talk.

So, it's fire season here in Alberta. Came early, of course. People are still recovering from last year, and the fires that raged through the off season.

So, let's not be upset when all the smoke comes. People closer have it worse. Wear my KN95 masks, respirators, get your home an air purifier. Donate if and when you can to anything but the Red Cross.

If you're in an area that frequently sees fires, please pack your emergency kit now. You need AT LEAST 72 hours worth of food, water, and medication for EACH member of your family, including your pets. I suggest up to a week if you can. If you have a vehicle, make sure your lights all work, make sure your emergency kit is in there, and your registration and insurance.

Your emergency kit should include and home/tenant insurance, pictures of things you want back/would want replaced (like xboxes, tvs, etc). Make sure it's up to date. You want health info for each member of your family, and copies of every single important document for them. This includes birth certificates, health care cards, health insurance cards, sin numbers, etc.

If you have pets, you want to have documentation of vaccinations, and please have your animals up to date on their vacinations and dewormers.

If you do not have a vehicle, then you need to contact somebody around you and talk about an emergency plan. Will they be able to get to you in time, what will you be able to take with you, etc.

If you live on a farm and have to evacuate, please ensure your animals have an escape route. Whether that's you or an open gate.

Most importantly, take care of eachother. Don't throw your cigarette butts out the window, don't flick your ashes, and don't have a fire if you're not allowed to in your area.

... but if you want to set our premier on fire.... I'm joking. Relax.

Firewood for 2024-25 In Progress

Hubby started on next winters firewood supply this week. He’s trying to cut down all of the wild cherry trees that are in a field that the cattle will be in. When we have windstorms there are always limbs, if not, entire trees that come down on the property. Wild cherry are particularly hazardous to livestock. When the sap comes up in these trees it causes noxious poison in the leaves and buds.…

End of Fire Season

Burned trees are visible on ridge tops within the CZU Fire zone. Rain is gratifying at the beginning of the rainy season. We all know that it has potential to become excessive later in the season, but we are not yet concerned with flooding or mudslides. After a typically long and dry summer, we enjoy it while we can. A storm that finished earlier yesterday was relatively minor, but was…

It's that time of year again in Australia where you can see smoke rising on the horizon and go "oh yep" and carry on with your day

I love(I fucking despise) fire season

Joy! It’s the second month of spring, and it’s already fire season. Remember to check your local fire warnings, and check the weather app. We’ve already got a bunch of fires going on nation wide, so be prepared

And remember, it’s 000, not 911

The hazard reduction burning in my area has been insane the last few days, I’ve had to keep my windows closed the last 24-ish hours because of air quality warnings. Glad they’re getting it done but it doesn’t bode well for the incoming fire season, or the el niño warning we’re expected to receiving in the coming weeks either…

Everything hurts....

Hiking is fun and all, but hiking in smoke? Up a steep hill?? In about 30°c weather??? Surrounded by residual heat????

Took over 10 min to DRIVE DOWN and we hiked up that.

Regret.

Fucken regret.

Like we don't regret helping put out the fire, don't regret the view from up there, honestly don't. But the pain?

Very pain, gon be worse tomorrow.

Did we run like a wild animal up the mountian? Yes, yes we did. But again.

Pain.

I am currently hoping that the silver lining of a hurricane/tropical storm hitting my state for the first time ever/in 80-odd years will be that the massive amount of rain involved will keep the state from catching fire this fall and I’m not sure how to feel about it.

Or, in other words- dude, the climate really is changing
