B.C. cancels state of emergency over forest fires as weather cools

The British Columbia state government canceled the emergency situation announced in August and hundreds of forest fires swallowed state.

The government said the weather was cool and that suppressing the progression of forest fires means that the forces given under local emergencies are no longer needed.

Ban on fire is partially canceled by coastal, southeast and northwest fire stations, allowing fire to occur in certain areas, but no other areas fire.

However, at all centers it is still prohibited to grill the grass with Tiki's torch, chimney, skylight, fireworks, cooking drum and other combustibles.

The state government said the number of property under the evacuation order was greatly reduced, and many residents are allowed to return to their home.

It said that an emergency was announced to ensure coordinated correspondence to the summer wildfire season when it burned over 13000 square kilometers during public safety and the season.

The wildfire season is not over yet, there are still evacuation warnings that affect 485 fires, 19 evacuation orders, about 2,000 people, and about 4,900 inhabitants.

The emergency situation was declared forest fire for the second consecutive year, but the statement of last year still exists from the beginning of July to the middle of September.

In the summer of BC there is salvation from the fire of the forest fire. And Washington state said that its peak period spread all over the country.

Greater Vancouver enhances air quality consulting in this area and Fraser Valley

British Columbia state forecasts by the Canadian Ministry of the Environment have the possibility of taking more time to show substantial improvements in air quality in the inland area and when the trough arrives on Thursday and Friday a new southwest wind and coast The department improved. Regional air quality

Wind, rainfall and humidity weather forecasts are important for preventing and managing forest fires. Various indices such as forest fire weather index and Haynes index are developed. This is for predicting regions that are likely to suffer from natural fire or artificial fire. By predicting the evolution of the weather you can predict the occurrence conditions of harmful insects. Electric utilities and gas companies rely on weather forecasts to predict demand. Demand may be strongly affected by weather. They use the number called days to determine the strength of use of heating (heating day) or cooling (cooling day). These quantities are based on the average daily temperature of 65 ° F (18 ° C). When the temperature goes down, the temperature goes down and when the temperature goes down the temperature goes up (1 degree fahrenheit). In the winter, as people start to warm up, demand may increase sharply due to cold weather.

Wildfires are a natural part of the forest life cycle. Indeed, the extreme weather and wildfire we experienced during this spring and summer are not unique - Canadians experienced forest loss, floods and heat waves for years. But the new and shocking thing is how often these events occur today. Over the past 15 years, we experienced five of the seven worst wildfires in Canada's history. And, not surprisingly, at the same time, we experienced the warmest eight-year history (UNEP, 1998)

One of the most common causes of global deforestation and destruction of wildlife is fire. In the United States in particular, the fire devastated many areas of forests and rural areas. Forest fires or wildlife fires spread at varying rates depending on vegetation, weather conditions, and physical characteristics. Discovered fossils indicate that forest fires are no wonder for modern history, as some volcanoes dates over 100 million years ago. It is said that the Earth is largely a flammable planet due to its rich carbon, dry climate, atmospheric oxygen, lightning strikes and volcanic activity.
