Inner Sanctum

 TO SEE IS TO BELIEVE.

Long time ago...when there's wildfire in the neighborhood, a firetruck and its firefighters arrived at the scene of fire almost right immediately to put off the fire and neighbors helped also put off the fire by using their water hoses and or buckets filled with water. It is a neighborhood watch that also see, serve and protect livelihood to secure tenancy in a certain village, town or city. That's the mental preparation for emergency in urban community.

However, the situation is different in most places in Canada. How that happened? I myself is confused just like you. There's no wildfire, no smoke just lingering foggy situation and people are being asked to evacuate from their homes. The smoke and wildfires are from miles away, in the forest and group of people are asked to leave their community for evacuation. I don't know, maybe the authority thought it's better to evacuate before wildfire arrives or before the fire spreads rapidly and get trap from all the smokes. Question of where to house the evacuees? Are they getting free housing and all the needs, hope so. Maybe those newly built condominiums are ready for occupancy eh? Nice. I hope they can afford the high cost of living in the next cities where they are to evacuate. Too many homeless people now that finding vacancy from rental homes is futile. Then with millions of new immigrants looking for work and homes? Wow! Crucial. It's a mess out there. Do you have tide?

I'm not in the area of smoke & wildfires but high heat and extreme humidity can be exhausting and can cause dehydration and death. I hope drones could help show or feature what location has wildfires and how fast would the spread would be or just that there are so many people living off the grid in the woods or forest and their camping inside deep in the forest are causing the panic stricken of what could come out from such kind of shelter. We wont know. BC or British Columbia is a cordillera of massive mountain ranges almost like the Amazons and you'll never know of what's deep inside it until you comb the whole entire geographical location. It's "cordillera!" It is part of the ring of fire.

Anyway, what else is new?

Have you seen or been to the inner sanctum?
