The BC is Burning documentary came to Clearwater with the message that reducing wildfire risk requires better fuel management in the province’s forests. …The room was full of over 70 community members, including local fire responders. Following the film, a Q&A session was held by Mayor Merlin Blackwell with the documentary maker Murray Wilson, local FireSmart coordinator Chance Breckenridge, and the BC government’s chief forester Shane Berg. The nearly 47-minute film has been shown about 20 times in around 12 communities, according to Wilson. It talks about the scale of the wildfire issue in B.C. and runs through a set of proposed solutions revolving around various forms of forest management. …Addressing potential critiques about the film’s proposed solutions, such as the perception that it promotes forestry and clearcutting, Berg, the province’s chief forester, said there’s been “no deterioration of our legislation” regarding the protection of forests and the environment.
