The document summarizes information about a forest fire in the Crowsnest area. It describes how a random fire grew out of control to a massive 6 km wall of flames 50 m high, emitting energy equivalent to an atomic explosion every 30 minutes. It tells the story of Elaine Hruby who was told to evacuate alone and could only watch in horror as the flames approached. Over 20,000 hectares were burned, heavily impacting the timber industry, local businesses, and tourism, though one sawmill benefited by using burnt lumber. The fire created both ecological pros of more diversity but also cons of an unpleasing esthetic.

The Crowsnest forest fires of 2003 started as an uncontrolled wildfire that grew into a massive 6km wall of flames. Local residents were evacuated as the flames approached Hillcrest. Elaine Hruby chose to watch the fire from a distance, finding it mesmerizing. Over 20,000 hectares of forest burned, damaging the timber and tourism industries, though some salvage efforts recovered lumber. While the burned area initially looked desolate, forest fires provide ecological benefits and the region saw new plant growth that enriched the diversity of the forest.
Crowsnest Fire
A wildfire in Crowsnest, Alberta on August 21, 2003 abruptly changed direction and grew into a massive blaze. The fire's wall of flames reached 50 meters high and had the energy of an atomic explosion every 30 minutes. Local resident Elaine Hruby had to evacuate her home as authorities told her to leave immediately. She watched from a distance as the flames moved towards Hillcrest. The Crowsnest fire ultimately burned over 20,000 hectares and impacted the local timber industry and tourism. While the burned area was initially devoid of life, it will create more diversity over time as undergrowth that was previously inhibited can now develop.

In August 2003, a seasonal wildfire in Canada abruptly grew out of control, transforming into a massive blaze that burned over 20,000 hectares of forest land. The fire threw off energy equivalent to an atomic explosion every 30 minutes. Elaine Hruby was evacuated from her home as the fire spread. While tourism was negatively impacted, some local businesses like gas stations and restaurants maintained business. One company, Spray Lake Sawmills, benefited from the fire as they used burnt lumber from the forest in their operations. However, the viability of salvage efforts depends on the level of root damage and the financial costs involved.

A wildfire in Crowsnest Pass, Alberta abruptly changed direction on August 21, 2003, growing into a massive fire. One resident witnessed the flames approaching and found them mesmerizing despite her fear. The fire burned over 20,000 hectares of forest, significantly impacting the local timber industry and businesses like tourism while others maintained steady customers. Salvage efforts of burnt lumber depend on root damage assessments and carbon removal, and fires create new ecological diversity over time compared to undisturbed old growth forests.
Crowsnest Fires
The Crowsnest Fires burned over 20,000 hectares of forest near Elaine Hruby's home. She was told to evacuate immediately by authorities. Though it was difficult to leave, she watched the fire from a distance, drawn by its intensity. After the fire, tourism in the area declined significantly. However, some local businesses like dry cleaners, gas stations, and restaurants maintained steady customers. Spray Lake Sawmills used burnt lumber from within its 28% quota rights. The fire had both ecological pros and cons for the impacted region.
Crowsnest Fire
The Crowsnest wildfires of August 2003 started as a seasonal fire but grew rapidly, consuming over 20,000 hectares of forestland. Elaine Hruby had to evacuate her home immediately after authorities warned her, grabbing only a lamp, jewelry, and Buddha statue as she watched the fire from a distance. While the fires affected local timber industries and businesses, some companies like Spray Lake Sawmills stood to benefit by salvaging burnt lumber, though the viability would depend on the level of root damage and costs of recovery efforts. The fires created short-term ecological impacts but could promote longer-term habitat diversity.
Crowsnest Fire August 2003
The Crowsnest Fire in August 2003 reached heights of 50 meters and released energy equivalent to an atomic explosion every 30 minutes, forcing immediate evacuation of residents like Elaine Hruby who didn't know what to take with her. The fire burned over 20,000 hectares of forest. While some local businesses benefited from increased activity like sawmills using burned lumber, the timber industry and tourism were negatively impacted. In time, the burned area created new ecological diversity with rich undergrowth that wasn't there previously.
Ed 3508 Assignment 2
On August 21, 2003 a wildfire grew out of control in Canada. The 6 km wide wall of flames reached 50 meters into the sky and was throwing off as much energy as an atomic bomb every 30 minutes. Elaine Hruby had to evacuate and didn't know what to bring, so she grabbed some sentimental items and her pets before watching the flames approach from a safe distance. Over 20,000 hectares of forest were burned, affecting many businesses but not all. The fire created short term ecological destruction but will lead to long term diversity as undergrowth regenerates.
Assignment 2
The Crowsnest Fire in 2003 reached 50 meters high and threw off energy equivalent to an atomic explosion every 30 minutes. Elaine Hruby was told to evacuate immediately at 10am, though she could only take her pets, a lamp, jewelry, and a small Buddha statue. She watched the flames approach Hillcrest from a rock ledge overlooking Crowsnest Pass, feeling drawn to the fire. The blaze burned over 20,000 hectares and damaged timber and tourism industries, though one sawmill benefited from using burnt lumber. The scorched land allows for more ecological diversity and undergrowth development.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing Days
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
