B.C. wildfire crews use drone to trigger controlled burn in Canadian first
July 21, 2026
The BC Wildfire Service says crews working on the Brunswick complex of wildfires near Boston Bar northeast of Vancouver used a drone to trigger a controlled burn in what it says was a Canadian first. The wildfire service says the drone was able to 'safely and precisely ignite targeted fuels' in mountainous terrain.
The group said it wanted to reaffirm that it's against the pipeline because government has not consulted and co-operated in good faith with the First Nations.
