Helping the province cope with such wildfires will be Flannigan’s job as B.C. Research Chair in emergency preparedness and fire science at TRU, funded by a $5-million provincial endowment, which will see him work closely with the B.C. Wildfire Service.
Postmedia first spoke with Flannigan Wednesday, just hours before the Lytton Creek wildfire forced more than 1,000 people from their homes, razed much of the historic village, and killed at least two people.

Thompson Rivers University will be welcoming a new faculty member who has been granted a Canadian Research Chair in Fire Ecology.
Dr. Jill Harvey will be investigating how wildfires and droughts impact the BC Interior’s forests.
Harvey is setting up a program to study past wildfires with two themes of research. She says the first is historical wildfires, and understanding how often and what areas are affected, as well as climate conditions associated with past wildfires. The second theme of the research will look at recent wildfires, and how those forests are recovering, and the role of drought in wildfires.
