Alberniweather has reached its high for the day. We got to 38.6ºC at 2:14PM. The wind has brought that down to 35.4ºC currently.
Wind is currently from the NNE at 13kph, pushing the fire away from the City thankfully but it is likely growing very fast.
Expect to be surprised by the size of the new area number when BCWF updates later this evening.
Hopefully crews have been successful protecting any structures.

Environment Canada has issued an Air Quality Advisory for Inland Vancouver Island including Port Alberni. May also impact Lake Cowichan, Tofino, Ucluelet, Bamfield, Nitinat.
(Ironically, the wind has turned around again and is a steady breeze about 8kph from the NE. Air quality has improved in the City for now.

Looks like the main aerial attack effort is trying to protect the Franklin River log sort. This is south of the China Creek marina on the Alberni Inlet at the mouth of Franklin River. #bcwildfire #underwoodFire #portalberni

Squadron of 4 Fireboss skimmers now actioning the fire.
Looks like they are taking water from the Alberni Inlet.
It is not lost on ANYONE in Port Alberni that we are one day after the August 11 2024 anniversary of the Hawaii Mars water bomber being officially flown to a museum. The Phillipine Mars was sent to Arizona a few months later.
Sigh…
