## Resource

B.C. is in wildfire emergency mode as fires rage across dry, wind-whipped terrain—especially near Green Lake, where evacuation orders may soon be issued. A powerful cold front bringing 30-40 km/h gusts is set to hit Saturday, accelerating fire spread across tinder-dry land. The Pear Lake blaze, now over 700 square kilometers, is one of four major fires threatening communities and straining firefighting crews. With power out and uncertainty looming, residents brace for a dangerous, high-stakes race against time. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
