About this episode
There’s been nearly a dozen wildfires on the island so far this year and, after a dramatic few seasons, communities across the island are getting ready for the one ahead. In this episode, Nuu-Chah-Nulth Tribal Council president Judith Sayers and Dashwood Fire Chief Nick Acciavatti consider how last year’s Mount Underwood and Wesley Ridge fires should inform this summer’s response. Plus, Darius Mahdavi has a weather forecast for the island’s summer, and Erika Berg from the B.C. Wildfire Service gives an update on this summer’s firefighter staffing.
