PEMBERTON, BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA - Pemberton Mayor Mike Richman says Wednesday evening was a long night for residents who watched from their homes as firefighters battled a blaze that grew quickly to threaten their small B.C. community.
“Nights are a little scary for folks, because you see the glow, the fire. It’s cause for extra anxiety,” he said, as he recounted a tense night watching firefighting aircraft dropping water and flame retardant on the Signal Hill blaze that had erupted earlier in the day.
