“On August 16, 2003, at about 4 a.m., a wildfire was started by a lightning strike near Rattlesnake Island in Okanagan Mountain Provincial Park in British Columbia, Canada. The wildfire was fueled by a constant wind during the driest summer on record up to that time. Within a few days it had grown into a true firestorm. The fire grew northward and eastward, initially threatening a small number of lakeshore homes, but quickly became an interface zone fire and forced the evacuation of 27,000 residents and consumed 239 homes. The final size of the firestorm was over 64,030 acres. Most of the trees in Okanagan Mountain Park were burned, and the park was closed. Since then, much of the land has been reforested, but traces of the devastation of the 2003 fire still remain; 60 fire departments, 1,400 armed forces troops and 1,000 forest fire fighters took part in controlling the fire, but were largely helpless in stopping the disaster.” – British Columbia News Service This video was created using footage and soundtracks in the Public Domain, or released as CC0 Public Domain materials, and is made entirely from recycled, repurposed and refashioned images and sounds.
