    This is a gentle housekeeping request for our social media. Unless you have a question or can constructively help one of your Cariboo neighbours, please don't post. At this point in time we do not care about your opinion, rumours or your beliefs about this issue. #BCWildfires

    If you're mad at the way things are, step back from the keyboard and help. Call. Volunteer. Be a part of the solution, not the problem. Thank you for indulging this post. Take care of yourself, then help others. Stay safe and stay calm. #CaribooStrong #Cariboo #BCWildfires

    We want to say THANK YOU to every hotel, bed + breakfast - everyone and anyone offering lodging to #BCWildfires evacuees in the #WilliamsLake and #Cariboo region. We have heard great stories of evacuees being treated like gold and it's heart-warming to hear. #CaribooStrong

    Meet Lucille – She’s a model S-64E Skycrane currently fighting wildfires out of the airport at 108 Mile Ranch. She may be a thirsty bird as she can consume up to 22,000 litres of fuel a day but she also carries 10 tonnes of water at a time! #BCWildfire

    We would like to take a moment to thank the Cariboo residents under order who are abiding to the evacuation. We truly appreciate those who have left their homes under evacuation order and are here to support you in any way we can. Please give us a call if you have any questions
    Evacuation orders remain in areas where it is not safe, based on current and forecasted fire behaviour, weather, road access and/or if the BC Wildfire service has recommended it. We work closely with partner agencies such a BC Wildfire, MOTI and utility operators to do our due diligence to make sure it is safe for you to return home before we consider rescinding an order. When failing to follow evacuation orders, you are putting yourself and fire responders as risk. Please respect the rules to ensure everyone's safety is considered.

    If you're asking we turn off our comments, we say - not a chance. When Slave Lake faced Wildfire one of the last communications channels to fall was Twitter of all things. We cannot take the chance that someone may need life-saving help so that's why we ask for calm heads.

    We have had numerous instances where waterbombers and bucket helicopters have had to be grounded and it's not what we want. Please use common sense around wildfire disaster areas. For more information: tc.canada.ca/en/aviation/dr… #BCWildfires #Cariboo #wildfires
