a friend shared this on facebook

Edited to ad:: I didn't write this. A local heli pilot fighting the fires did. He chose to stay Anonymous so as not to create conflict with his job. But he wanted to educate everyone lashing out. Im not the pilot.
This was directly related to the media articles and the response people have been having attacking those involved for not using the Martin Mars
-----------------------------------------------

For everyone who is sharing and commenting on the Media article about the Martin Mars Please stop!!!
I am just one of hundreds flying on these fires and fighting them for a living. The reason why the Mars is not on the fires is because we have equipment that does a faster more efficient job from smaller lakes which can put more water on a fire per hour. Water doesn't put out a fire the crews do. Large aircraft such as what you have read about in this article take crews off the fire lines, sit helicopters on the ground for hours and stop precious production and critical gains. Their water comes out at a force which sends embers out and start spot fires it loosens ground, blows over trees creating hazards and ruins guards put in by crews. For everyone out there please get these ideas out of your heads and realize there is a reason why we don't use these planes. As for the night ops, this is a great idea in California or in the desert where at night you have long string drops and easy terrain but in BC it doesn't work that way. There are night crews working and they don't need any more dangers. Lastly it is an insult to all of us who are working 18 hours days with no food and no place to sleep while we try to save people's houses and animals and you sit at home telling us what is best. There is so much more to it then just putting water on a fire otherwise don't you think we would do just that!! Please educate yourselves before posting about this topic and or sharing with others as it is not needed. Look at the photo, no plane can fly in that smoke and heat and no water will put out a kilometer wide, 200 foot wall of fire.

Just talked to to my sister in Calgary (it's her birthday today) and she tells me that ash from the BC wildfires is falling on her back deck.

Honestly, I think that's my neighbour (3 houses down)
There can't be that many of that colour.
If so, they also have a Bentley, so they don't need to take the bus.
But maybe they should :noidea:

Air quality in Vancouver for the next few days is going to be about as good as Beijing on a normal day.

the last time it was this heavy was maybe 2 years ago and the upside is it smelt like camping when you went outside lol :noidea:

this is completely fucked up ... that starbucks is about 4 blocks from my house

i dont understand why it took so long to make it public ... In late July I went to the Shoppers Drug mart in that same strip mall and there was a notice from IHIT taped to the front door saying something to the effect of "IHIT is seeking information/witnesses regarding an incident that took place July 12 in front of Starbucks/Royal Bank"

The only publicized murder investigation at the time was regarding the 13 year old girl killed in central park :noidea:
