A logging company is burning slash. Early evening and the setting sun

"The forest industry uses burning to dispose of leftover slash and wood residue to abate fire hazards as required under the Wildfire Act and Wildfire Regulation. The obligation to abate fire hazards does not require forestry operators to burn the debris, just dispose of it. In some cases, burning is the best option, as long as it is carried out so as to minimize air pollution — following the rules set by the Open Burning Smoke Control Regulation." BC Air Quality website
