The CBC has obtained a WorkSafeBC report into the death of 19-year-old Devyn Gale, who died when she was struck by a burning cedar tree that fell on her while she was fighting a wildfire outside Revelstoke last year. The investigation found danger-tree assessments were not conducted, and it also outlines a culture of normalizing risk in the B.C. Wildfire Service. We hear a response from the wildfire service and learn more details from CBC's Daybreak South host, Chris Walker.

As October's provincial election approaches, new polling shows more gains for the B.C. Conservatives. We discuss the reasons for the party's surge in support with CBC The Early Edition's director Laurence Watt, and Hamish Telford, political science professor with the University of the Fraser Valley.
