Animal Lifetime Emergency Response Team
#1
The fires in B.C. are still raging and there are many people and pets caught in emergency evacuation situations. Fortunately there are groups who are ready to help. The Animal Lifetime Emergency Response Team is one such group. For the people in their community it means knowing that at leas their pets are safe while they flee the fire. Some will have homes to came back to and some will not, but at least they will have their pets.

This has been a dangerous summer for people in British Columbia. There have been over a hundred fires at once and some have combined into super fires.  The fire fighting teams are doing their best. When it is all over the land is going to look very different for years to come.

In the midst of this there have been amazing stories of animal rescues and the tremendous dedication of people who are giving so much to help displaced pets. Right now B.C. is a land of heroes.

What a good job this team is doing. British Columbia has been devastated by those fires. It is good to see how much care and kindness has been given to the animals. They are peoples' friends and companions. Bless those who are working so hard to help, and thank goodness they are there.

I just accidentally deleted the whole post before I posted it. Opps!

British Columbia has been battling fires all summer. There have been over 100 burning at once. The can suddenly change direction or move very quickly. They can join into super fires. New ones keep happening.
So there have been evacuations all summer and the shelters everywhere are full to capacity.
Rescuers are doing heroic jobs of getting animals out of danger.  It is not over, the fires are still burning and spreading.

Shelters are overwhelmed, but doing a great job.

People have little warning that they need to leave.

The impact on wildlife is going to be bad.

Farm animals were in danger as much as pets.

This has been a bad year for disasters effecting people and animals. Whether it is fire or flood people lose so much and so many animals are at risk. All people can do is carry on and rescue as many animals as possible.

The BC fires have been devastating. I cannot imagine what it must feel like to be caught up in something like that. It's good that there is such a concerted effort to help as many animals as possible.

In the midst of the worst fire situation in the history of BC, there have been some incredible pet miracles.

Fifty two days missing, 17 years old, lost in a fire zone and the only home he has known now gone, Socks is one lucky cat and clearly very resourceful. If only he could tell us his story. I am sure it is a good one.


The map shows how many fires are still burning.

I have been to some of the places and it is hard to picture the areas burned out. I know it will regrow and be a better renewed forest, but it must look bleak right now.

It may be some time before the impact is known, but the loss of wildlife and wildlife habitats are horrific.
