“There was a bit of a gap where there was almost no lightning strikes at all, and then there was one really big one. Something about it clicked within my head. It’s like my intuition knew exactly where that lightning hit.”

“The wildfire made people scared for the rest of the summer. It put a damper on the summer for people wanting to do things in the neighbourhood. It would have been nice to have a neighbourhood support group so people could talk about it more and explain their side of things.”

Our elections are increasingly defined by the threats we face. That's why coverage of the dangers of climate change is so important. And that's why we were honoured @sfuceri.bsky.social cited the Climate Disaster Project as an example of how to get that coverage right.

“It's something that you can be ready for but at the same time, you can’t prepare for it. We had lots of theoretical knowledge on what to do in these situations. We had lots of meetings on how to address emergency situations when they occur, but we've never faced it really on that scale."

“The dangers were relentless. At one point, we crossed a bridge that was on fire. We couldn’t afford to slow down, even as the flames roared around us. During another operation, I encountered dense black smoke leaving me disoriented and gasping for air.”
