Wildfire in Squamish is Giving Us Heart Attack Vibes 🔥🏠

The Blaze Deets

Okay, fam, listen up. There's a whole situation going on in Squamish, B.C. A wildfire, dubbed the Dryden Creek fire, started earlier this week and is currently not under control. It's east of Highway 99, between Dowad Drive and Depot Road. By Monday evening, this thing had already ballooned to five hectares. Big yikes.

The BC Wildfire Service (BCWS) is throwing everything they've got at it. We're talking air support (helicopters and air tankers), ground crews, the whole shebang. They're pretty sure it was a human-caused L.

Now, here's the serious part. The District of Squamish just dropped an evacuation alert for spots in Brackendale, including the campground and the end of Tantalus Road. Basically, if you're in that area, get your go-bag ready because you might have to bounce at a moment's notice. Officials are ready to do door-to-door checks if it gets real. No cap, this is for real.

And peep this: the smoke is blanketing Squamish and even drifting into Howe Sound. So, yeah, it's a whole vibe of not good. The BCWS is also saying, don't be a rubbernecker on the highway and def NO DRONES. It's dangerous and just makes things harder for the firefighters. Let's keep it 100 and give them space to do their thing.
