and I guess "down to the Garden" was a slightly wrong phrase.

You do walk slightly downhill from the main part to the Garden, but I guess "across campus" would be a better description.

I liked your first answer Sylv!!!

actually,



we knew the Garden, both the garden itself and the office buildings, was safe. The fire fighters deluged the fire with water from above, so all the flames and smouldering was down at the bottom of the cliff.


and he needed to get to his office there ...... and also to see if the director needed any help.

'cos he's daft!

Syvl.....why would OH go towards a fire :-S

bit of excitement out at the university this morning


OH was going to go into the Botanical Garden early today ....... but we woke up to the news that there was a forest fire on the university campus, right next to the Garden :-0

The fire was on the side of the road across from the campus, on the VERY steep, forested slope down to the river. They have had to bring in a helicopter to help fight it.

The Garden was never seriously in danger ............... but their parking areas are being used as staging areas for the fire fighters.


As a result, the Welcome Back Salmon Barbecue for the Volunteer group, due to start at 11:00 am, has been cancelled!

The salmon was not wasted ............. the Garden staff are cooking it and serving it to the emergency workers


OH went out to campus about 9:30 am, but was going to park on the opposite side of campus, go to Botany, and walk down to the Garden later.


The fire started in a cavity in a big tree down near the bottom of the slope, near the beach, and was probably human caused .............. the beach there is part of Vancouver's notorious Wreck Beach, very much a clothing optional area :-0 :-D

It could have been a young person, or one of the people who sleeps out down there.


We have been here about 42 years, and have never known of a previous forest fire so close to the campus before, literally just across a 2-lane road from builidngs, including one of the residences. The campus is completely surrounded by forest ...... but previous fires have been small (as was this one), but well away from the campus itself.
