A camp for firefighters battling a British Columbia wildfire had to be shut down because of “persistent bear activity,” Canada wildlife officials reported.
About 160 firefighters at a camp near Goldbridge to fight the Downton Lake wildfire relocated to T’it’q’et First Nation and Lillooet community facilities, officials said on Twitter, now rebranded as X.
The British Columbia Wildlife Service said it ordered the closure to “ensure the safety” of firefighters.
Conservation officers are working to find a safe place for a new camp so firefighters can resume battling the wildfire, officials said. Officials did not provide details on the bear activity, but bears frequently enter campgrounds looking for food or trash.
Persistent rifle activity will take care of that. Bunch a wankers

Or large caliber handguns.
There’s a solution to that.
Of course they could just let nature take it’s course and let it burn.
Ok, but what is the chambering?
Mtn. Lions passing through my property are a potential issue.
I need to get a carry piece for myself and additionally my wife for walking in the “yard”.
Welcome to Agenda 21.
