50:58
A new report from B.C.'s fire commissioner shows a dramatic increase in home fires and fire-related deaths across B.C. Now, the province is working with Statistics Canada to create a map identifying communities at greatest risk of home fires. We'll talk to the president of the Fire Chiefs Association of B.C. And in our second half, the decriminalization of small amounts of hard drugs in B.C. adds a new element to the conversations parents have with their kids and teens about drugs. We'll talk to an expert in youth counselling for addiction about how to go about it.
