There's fire bans all around us, no fires allowed in this province this year.

I got this because it was short, heavy and it has that medium sized tire instead of those small lawn tractor tires. I'll put together a trailer and look for a bucket, fel setup for it or use something in the yard. Have the metal for a blade but they're a pita to put together.

It only hit 10 today and this cloud cover is holding a cold rain, just turned on the furnace as it was getting chilly.

Prescribed burns in BC. Quite a turn around from fire bans.

A fire ban came on when there was a controlled burn here a couple of wks ago that got out of control. The fire got quite big and it took a lot to put it out.

Our grasslands are really dry so there's all sorts of bans and commercials on the radio warning about fires. It's back to warm and dry today, can leave the doors open and let the fresh air in.

Likely it'll be pretty much Canada wide. I think BC and Alberta have had some forest fires already.

All fires in BC seem to turn out to be pretty bad.
