Unfortunately the water-bomber aircraft was in some bad gullies & with a bit of wind they ran into dramatic trouble. Just a few years ago in the same area, a chopper went down in trying to help put out some of the many fires & believe me we have a LOT of wild fires in this Province of B.C.

Unfortunately the above crashed water-bomber ALSO started ANOTHER of many forest fires in some very tough terrain.

A tourist will also find out that campfires are not only half the normal size, but not to be permitted. Also that smoking is a fine not only in the dry terrain, but also on the sandy beaches of the Pacific Ocean or the many lakes sandy shores.

I came from a Sunday indoor handgun shooting sport, I usually run, & the skies were brown with smoke from such a distance away. Fortunately we had our short downpower of rain, but not near enough to help the people in putting out the many Provincial wild forest fires that are so common to this Province.
