Clinton Fire Evacuation Update | Vancouver News

Wildfires are barreling through British Columbia, forcing chaotic evacuations in Clinton as residents scramble to save pets and flee with traffic gridlocked for miles. Firefighters raced to protect homes, saving most of the residential area—but the blaze remains active, splitting into dangerous new fronts, including a potentially hit industrial zone on the south side. Power’s out, roads are sealed, and crews can’t yet assess full damage due to extreme danger. Weeks of toxic smoke and poor air quality, especially for the elderly, fueled frustration over delayed evacuations. Meanwhile, in Boston Bar, a water system tampering incident—where someone reopened a shut-off line—could have crippled infrastructure during firefighting efforts.

Vancouver High School’s Green Stormwater Solution | Vancouver News

Vancouver, Washington, is launching a bold eco-project at Fort Vancouver High School: a giant, plant-filled stormwater filter set to turn runoff into a natural cleanup system. Funded by a $256K state grant and $45K from the Estuary Partnership, this design-phase initiative aims to slow, filter, and redirect polluted water before it hits Burnt Bridge Creek and the city’s drinking aquifer. Beyond environmental protection, the plan adds shade, habitat, and safety for students — all while slashing the school district’s stormwater fees. With city council approval and a potential 2029 construction date, this project could become a model for other schools, turning parking lots into green guardians for salmon, groundwater, and community health.
