Fun Fact of the day: Most fireproof capital city
British Columbians are no strangers to forest fires, and as wildfire season approaches it might be tempting to wonder where in the world you鈥檙e least likely to encounter one. Look no further than La Paz, Bolivia.
No, the city hasn鈥檛 built the world鈥檚 most expansive fire department or erected some sort of 鈥渇ire wall.鈥� Rather because it sits close to 12,000 feet above sea level. The city鈥檚 high altitude (highest of any capital city) reduces the amount of oxygen in the air. The reduced oxygen in turn makes it difficult for fires to ignite or spread rapidly.
