Island Fires

- Start date
Counted ~750 vehicles coming the other way as we were waiting to head east during the Wed. mid day flush. Glad we were there two hours early. Lots of cars didn't make the cut off. Would really suck for those heading to PA from Nanaimo this Friday afternoon because of a nasty crash at Nanoose.
It will take years to get that hill above Angel Rock stabilized.

This goes into the Believe it or Not category. Trying to get some house insurance quotes for my upcoming policy renewal Our work is able to get discounts on home insurance. The company is based out of Ontario. I spoke to a girl yesterday and she said " before I ask you a bunch of questions, where are you located? I need to see if you are in a fire zone." I told her, Nanaimo.
She says, oh, you are 38 KM from and active out of control fire.
I say, where is that?
She says, Cameron Lake.
I say that has been out for months.
So.............the Provincial Government has not updated their website to reflect the actual status of the fire. I google it and the last thing I see newsworthy is that it was under control in June. Nothing later than that. The map still shows burning out of control.
Result, she has to dig further. She says all the underwriters just go by the maps.
Brother.
