Episode Details

British Columbia’s firefighters are scrambling as old fire tactics fail—burn scars that once acted as reliable barriers are now dry tinder, reigniting flames and forcing crews to rebuild fire breaks through scorched land. With fires returning every five to ten years instead of decades, traditional forest management is obsolete. Communities like the Okanagan Indian Band have already lost over 200 homes, proving climate change is rewriting wildfire rules. Experts warn it’s time for a full rethink: fuel reduction can’t be “one and done,” and the province must urgently adapt or face even greater losses.
