KAMLOOPS — A new documentary is debuting across British Columbia this month looking into devastating wildfires in the province, while advocating for change. Called BC is Burning, the 45-minute long film investigates how forest management and policy reforms can help reduce the fire risk in our province. It debuts in Kamloops next Tuesday (July 22) at Thompson Rivers University. The documentary features 16 area experts, including four from Kamloops as well as its producer from Vernon. “I’m hoping that the film will untimely drive some change because there are solutions to wildfires and one of our best opportunities is to increase forest management in the province so we can address the fires before they start, reduce the chances of the fires happening,” said Murray Wilson. “We will always have fires, but we can reduce them by active forest management.”
