Hi Lynn, as a rule we are pretty dry here, especially through the summer, then for the winter generally we get good snow cover, which of course, all the hardy succulents like just fine.
Right now we're just going into a drought, which is scary as we have had some devastating wildfires in the area - the worst was in 2003, but even last year there were several around B.C. that took a long time to get under control.
Thursday they say if we don't have any rain, there will be a total campfire ban across the whole province. Not that it totally eliminates the risk, as there is still lightening to contend with, but stops the stupids from trying to have a bonfire and lighting the place on fire.
The biggest problem is that most of the forests are dead from the mountain pine beetle, making it almost impossible to stop the fire once it starts.
Succulent plants, luckily, don't burn! Plant lots!
