Ranchers still waiting for answers on damage caused by controlled burns
CLINTON, B.C. — Less than a week after sending a letter and video to the Ministry of Forests, Lands, and Natural Resources, a group of ranchers near Clinton haven’t heard any response from the provincial government.
They are looking for compensation after back burning by the B.C. Wildfire Service got out of control and caused damage to rancher’s properties earlier this month.
It’s been an emotional few weeks for Christine Watt, a ranch owner on Loon Lake Road who’s dealing with the aftermath of controlled burns that have destroyed portions of her 700-acre ranch.
