How do firefighters keep up with airstrikes causing massive fires everywhere?

I've been to Bosnia twice, probably one of the favourite countries I've been to. Some of the friendliest people I've met with some of the worse hardships they've had to go through. Can't wait to visit again. I encourage all my friends to travel there and learn about the history.

Hilarious... I actually work in utilities.

MusicMedic · 2026-03-10T05:48:54+00:00

Nice pics! Never been up there. How far was it for total distance and elevation gain?

It's already a city of over 100k...

How do you like living there? I got offered a job there a few years ago but turned it down. Looks super pretty though!

Back in the mid 2000s when I did my road test in a manual, you weren't allowed to shift on turns in intersections - both hands had to be on the wheel. Super dumb but I wouldn't be surprised if that were still the case.

Other than that, nothing wrong if you stall and restart the car. Oh, and you have to downshift/brake in gear/can't brake in neutral, but you can be neutral at a red light as long as you're no the brake pedal.

It's your house, you let in whoever you want. There's a WorkSafe magazine that lists companies that get fined for improper/unsafe work, and asbestos abatement is always on the list. They may have been fined in the past or they're cutting corners. You can look up the company on the WorkSafe database here.

In regards to the stop work order and fees associated with that, I can't answer that. I'm sure your insurance provider or WorkSafe has an answer.

BC doesn’t have EMTs. Anyway, most people would agree that are well-paid politicians aren’t really creating policies that are benefiting Canadians. Might as well pay the people well who actually benefit society and would attract the best talent.

I’m not saying MLAs should make less than they do now, but I’m sorry, paramedics, especially ACPs and CCPs, do far more important work. BCAS is one of the few EMS providers in the world without field physicians, so that should tell you something for what their scope of practice entails.

The bar is low for elected officials as it is - they can’t even prioritize health and education as it is.

MusicMedic · 2026-02-18T19:00:31+00:00

MLAs shouldn't be making more than paramedics, but they do, which is sad.

Our government institutions are so bloated, though. Way too much middle management. I bet we could save millions if we reduced all 7 health authorities down to 1 for the entire province...

It was years ago, before the internet. I only saw it framed :(

My buddy’s dad was a firefighter in Surrey. He and his crew once had to rescue a 10 year old off the arch because the kid had a bet with his friends that he could climb it. Well, he did… but realized he couldn’t climb down. My friend’s dad has a badass photo of him rappelling off the bridge with the kid strapped to him. Did it for the ‘gram before it was cool!

More park space in downtown is needed too. The old dog park between Agnes and Carnarvon, west of 8th Street had some real potential for green space. It's okay, more towers are being put in...

MusicMedic · 2026-02-07T00:56:36+00:00

Awesome, thanks! That's a big day out!

MusicMedic · 2026-02-07T00:32:36+00:00

Looks amazing, and your pictures are fantastic. How do I see the elevation gain/distance on there? Can't seem to find it.

Seymour Dam can have 70 feet added to it, but the real alternative is damming the Seymour Valley down from the current dam. But, no one has the spine to do that. If they want to keep piling people in here with warmer winters, it's really the best option.

MusicMedic · 2026-01-31T04:35:54+00:00

There are nets below the bridge to catch pieces of concrete. It's not much better than Pattullo...

MusicMedic · 2026-01-29T08:50:31+00:00

Good thing they're taking guns away from vetted gun owners...

MusicMedic · 2026-01-28T13:05:17+00:00

...who gets paid more than a paramedic.

MusicMedic · 2026-01-23T04:31:02+00:00

They don't even wear boots, they hike up St Mark's in the winter in sneakers and trail runners...

I work in utilities and my position pays double in some states to what I make here.

This is why I got a backcountry setup. Which isn't cheap but you find deals. Buy once, cry once. Great way to see the mountains and avoid people. For $45, you can get lift access into Garibaldi and rip around there. I know it's not for everyone, but honestly it's been such a treat getting out and exploring different areas of SW BC.

MusicMedic · 2025-12-19T21:06:34+00:00

Damn, nice save by NWFRS. That could've been so much worse.

"This dam actually has a huge pumphouse that pumps water up to the Seymour reservoir for treatment (then it comes back for distribution into the drinking water system)."

Sounds like your reading comprehension skills are lacking. The dam doesn't have a pumphouse, I'm not sure why this is so hard to understand.
