norseman Posted Saturday at 01:12 AM Admin Posted Saturday at 01:12 AM This picture was sent to me by a friend. It’s Inchelium Washington. It on the Colville Indian Reservation. This is the Modrite fire. Stay safe folks! 🙏🏻😥 1 1
BC witness Posted Saturday at 07:28 AM Posted Saturday at 07:28 AM Here in BC, most of the Fraser Canyon and the Cariboo Plateau is blazing right now, with at least 4 towns evacuated, and several more under threat. One of the fires is now over 90,000 hectares! 1
MIB Posted Saturday at 02:57 PM Admin Posted Saturday at 02:57 PM For the moment, my little chunk o' heaven is calm. The East Evans Creek Fire (15,800 acres?) seems under control. The state fire marshal team tasked with structure protection left a week ago. The local IMT under state forestry has completed their 2 week rotation and has been replaced by a joint team from California and Australia. North-central and Eastern Oregon are a different situation. Something over 1.5 million acres have burned / are burning, several fires well beyond 100K acres, and today they're under a "PDS" red flag warning, not a red flag warning. I'd never heard the term. PDS is particularly dangerous situation. Low humidity, winds to 50 mph over active fires, and not enough resources to address new starts. Despite all of the conspiracy nonsense, these are lightning fires other than East Evans Creek which was the result of a car hitting a power pole and dropping live lines into dry brush. 1 1
RedHawk454 Posted 21 hours ago Posted 21 hours ago In theory Sasquatch's should be moving around A LOT and there should be an increase in sightings maybe. 1
Backdoc Posted 4 hours ago Posted 4 hours ago Any fire like this is horrible. I imagine a terrible fire would drive many animals toward safety and Bigfoot would be no exception. It's still a numbers game. 10,000 Deer on the move are easier to notice than 4 Sasquatch. 1
MIB Posted 2 hours ago Admin Posted 2 hours ago They don't necessarily evacuate the area. I have 2(past) local reports of fire crews on night shift being "shadowed" by BFs as they go to / from the firelines on foot. I wasn't able to follow up on either report. A friend did with one. I didn't see anything that raised any red flags however. 1
VAfooter Posted 2 hours ago Admin Posted 2 hours ago 26 minutes ago, MIB said: They don't necessarily evacuate the area. Caves, rivers, and lakes (if available) would be a source of refuge I would think.
Backdoc Posted 49 minutes ago Posted 49 minutes ago 1 hour ago, MIB said: They don't necessarily evacuate the area. This brings up an interesting point I haven't considered: How far does a Bigfoot travel in a given day? What is the expected maximum range in a given day? Fire or not, maybe Bigfoot is only traveling 3 miles on foot. Maybe 20. That number- whatever it is- detemrines everything. If there is a big-time fire, can a walking animal essentially escape its effects in a short distance? Would 2 or 3 miles away be enough? Would it take 10? Once bigfoot moves to a safer area it would probably put the fire behind him and move on like business as usual. Then if the fire approached again would alter its behavior set on new circumstances. How far can Bigfoot travel in a day? ------------------------- This from the movie The Fugitive regarding a man on foot: “Our fugitive has been on the run for ninety minutes. Average foot speed over uneven ground, barring injuries, is 4 miles per hour. That gives us a radius of six miles. What I want from each and every one of you is a hard-target search of every gas station, residence, warehouse, farmhouse, henhouse, outhouse and doghouse in that area. Checkpoints go up at fifteen miles. Your fugitive’s name is Dr. Richard Kimble. Go get him.” -------------------------- Deer, Horses, Fox, and so on have 4 legs and can likely cover a heck of a lot of territory in a day (and night travel is possible). I'm guessing Bigfoot has a much more limited in range.
