Say what Sparky?

Wait until they have the proposed sewer sludge pipe running through neighbourhoods to Hartland dump. The saying "call before you dig" will take on a new life.

It's not the pit they dump the road kill into, is it?

You mean one of those barbeques where they bury the meat under hot rocks?

As forest fires rage across the province, a group of scientists is working on a model that could predict wildfires up to two weeks before they happen.
Steve Taylor, a research scientist at the Pacific Forestry Centre in Saanich, said the goal is to cut response times by giving emergency planners more notice. “We won’t be able to say specifically where they will occur, but these episodes where we have a lot of large fire starts — they don’t really come out of nowhere,” Taylor said.
Oh good grief!
Why not round up some psychics with Ouija boards and study the habits of deceased cigarette butt flickers.

^ The science seems pretty sound. They are not going to predict a fire within a 100 metre radius, but they will look at general trends and then be able to move resources around the country. Now, unless we create a national fire-fighting service, it might not help much.

Just let Hartland burn. Should extend the life of that dump a few years, no?

There’s a large brush fire burning near Lake Cowichan.
The fire just broke out just before 5pm Tuesday and it’s burning on Highway 18 near the Skutz Falls turnoff.
