Fire Scence of the Davis Creek Fires
I fought a fire in this steep valley in 1998 and six years later after I was out of the forest fire fighting business another wildfire tore through the same area. The fire in 2006 helped accomplish what we stopped it from doing in 1998.

Surrounding mountains that usually have snow covering them at this time of year lay barren after a very dry summer of 07'. It's been reported that the West Kootenay's are in a 6 year drought.
