Hats off to the residents stepping up and to the fire fighters. No kudos to the government who always leaves wildfires too late so we have out of control wildfires in huge numbers. 

Why is the military not being used on the ground to secure and patrol areas ordered out? Shouldn't these areas be put under martial law as there is a state of emergency? To redeploy RCMP to these areas means other areas are short staffed in BC and Canada.

Good for BC First Nations taking a stand and looking after their areas. History shows that BCFN who use to do controlled burns annually didn't have major fire problems until BC stopped them.
