A massive wildfire known as the Pear Lake fire has severely damaged the Firefly Ranch in Clinton, British Columbia. The fire, covering over 1,150 square kilometers, has destroyed multiple historic structures on the ranch, including this year's hay crop and buildings dating back to 1896. Ranch owner Barb Edmonson fought to save parts of her property despite the overwhelming destruction, describing the experience as akin to being in a hurricane with intense ash and debris. Although evacuation orders were in place, Edmonson chose to stay and protect her land, but most of her structures were lost. A GoFundMe campaign has been launched to assist her in rebuilding.
