Most of the time, I don't like Facebook for the trashing that goes on. Following BC Wildfire is worthwhile - they have upped their game with communications.
When a wildfire is threatening a structure, like someone’s home, the BC Wildfire Service deploys Structure Protection Specialists (SPS) to triage and coordinate structural defence.
They arrive on fires in trailers called Structural Protection Units (SPU), which contain a variety of specialized equipment. This includes sprinkler systems that moisten roofs and other surfaces to prevent embers from igniting the structure.
Structure Protection Specialists prioritize the deployment of SPUs based on:
*how “defensible” a property is (whether the SPU would be effective)
*based on fire activity and anticipated growth, where the need for SPU is greatest
*availability of SPU resources
