Lytton (again)

[dontrump]

the total ineptitude of BC wild fire management never ceases to amaze me this Lytton fire was 25H on Thursday 200 on Friday and now here at Tuesday around 1700+ H

this in my opinion is absolutely unacceptable and just plain bad management of fire systems etc
this fire could have very easily been put out by friday evening

Do you have any recommendations for the experts as to what they should have done?

yes got more water buckets and fire retardant bombers on it the within the first 24 hours ;;it was basically the fire burning in BC at the time do U have any idea at all how much equipment and man power BCWF systems actually has
its pathetic and disgraceful they let this fire get as big as it did

These were the weather conditions in the afternoon following the start of the fire.
Are you a pilot?
Would you have flown in those conditions?

Absolutely true. The turbulence in the valley near Lytton would have been wicked with wind like that. There are just too many amateur internet fire specialists. Imagine even thinking of sending planes into that.

Patience Grasshoppers, the season has just begun. We shall soon find out how competent the new system will work. Stand by for more.

You don't have any firefighting and/or flying experience do you.

I have superior profiling and management skills its as obvious as the ole pothole in the road ;; unless this BC wildfire systems can get more efficient management and accountability we will continue to see 20 acre fires balloon into 5000 acre fires such as this one;; too many chiefs as we use to say the white lake fire was probable one of the worst mismanaged fires in BC History
but they dont seem to understand and or really care its always "not out fault" even though it 100% their fault

It looks active again.

Winds are generally staying calm for the next 24 hours. That should allow them to make some progress.
