$10M for fire prevention
Castanet Kelowna
Premier Christy Clark has announced millions of dollars in funding for projects ranging from crime and forest-fire prevention to jump-starting rural economies. …Clark said the province would contribute up to $10 million to a fund that helps communities prevent wildfires, bringing that total investment to $78 million since 2004. The lesson from the recent devastating wildfire season was one the province would “regret forgetting,” she said. Clark said the National Research Council in the U.S. estimated that for every degree the temperature rises, about four times as much land will burn in North America’s west.
