## Resource

A devastating wildfire near Clinton, British Columbia, has razed homes, businesses, and a beloved 40-year-old resort, forcing evacuations as flames surged through the area fueled by heat and wind. Though the town center escaped major damage, rural properties and farmland were obliterated, sparking immediate community fundraising efforts to aid those displaced. This isn’t the first time Clinton has braced for fire — a 2017 evacuation left deep scars — and residents still wrestle with fear, some choosing to stay and fight despite the danger. Fire crews battled extreme terrain and unpredictable fire behavior, struggling to contain the blaze as it crossed roads and consumed even the local rodeo grounds. As the Pear Lake fire merged with another to the north, the threat expanded, but officials remain hopeful for swift power restoration and a collective rebuild.
