Good news today that the fire is now listed as “Being Held”. Same size, 1.5ha.

Mark Carney: I don’t care about Climate Change, I’m building another oil pipeline to Burnaby. Canada Strong!
Mother Nature: How strong exactly? Hold my beer.
(A wildfire has broken out on the north side of Burrard Inlet, about 7km northeast of the Burnaby oil terminal, the terminus of the Transmountain Pipeline. It is currently 1.5ha and out of control but updates often come slowly on the web. News reports are that a few homes have been “tactically evacuated” and more evacuations may come according to Metro Vancouver government.)

No further updates yet this morning but this CBC article has good details on the initial attack yesterday evening. Two residents were evacuated immediately by firefighters, the rest are on alert.
The fire is near BC Hydro high voltage transmission lines so the wildfire crews were not able to start on the ground until BCH shut down those lines. Until then, helicopters bucketed the fire.
Wind conditions were also favourable.
Hopefully they’ll have it under control today if the weather continues to cooperate. The CBC article includes a map that shows the fire in relation to downtown Vancouver, but doesn’t point out the location of the Burnaby oil terminal even though it is almost exactly halfway between the two.

Interesting to see this article on the BBC talking about Carney's "Dangerous Bluff" quote and his warning about Brexit.
He's been quick to criticize Brexit since it happened but he did not do much to stop it from happening when he was the head of the Bank of England.
