We kind of expected Pemberton to be making headlines with the Festival coming up, but not for wildfires. Luckily, the blaze that was started under the Hydro lines on Reid Road on Monday morning by BC Hydro machinery throwing a spark, was contained. Many thanks to the prompt efforts of the Coastal Service Crew, the Pemberton Fire Rescue and Mount Currie Fire. You can watch the CBC news story here. Fire danger is currently high. Keep your wits about you, and keep a loving eye on all those smokin’ fools.
