Surprising people would mess with firefighters.
I remember seeing a VW beetle someone parked in front of a fire hydrant, and
there was a house fire. The firefighters bashed out windows on both sides and
ran a firehose through his car. No doubt they could have picked it up and
moved it, or called police to have it towed, but this was quicker and hopefully
taught him a lesson.

The particular fires are in southern BC along the US/Canada border from Osoyoos
over to Rock Creek/Kettle Valley area.
We've got a temporary service in place relayed from a neighboring WISP now.
It's not a lot, but it's something. Another community north of there is
completely in the dark due to the fires to the south... no phone lines, no
power, not even cell. Logistically, there's nothing we can do for this
community right now either. Reports indicate the power company is setting up a
generator.
30 homes were lost in Rock Creek so far, and then there's an effin' idiot
flying a drone which has caused the air support for the fire to be grounded
yesterday. Now *THERE* is someone I hope the black suits find...

We had a bad situation this week where wildfire took out our upstream's
fiber in one valley which we relay wirelessly over to another valley. We had
calls from people angry that we weren't driving through the roadblocks to fix
it.

Normally these comics are just humor. The 'complain to your local
congressman' is what got me to send it to this group.
