We get hold over fires in my area almost every year .
Northern BC .
To put that in perspective, winter at min is rampant for four months with temperatures annually dropping below -40c .
These mega 🔥 we get up here burn underground , imagine the resources it would take to put every fire out here in this region alone .
Wildfires are a natural part of forest ecosystem. Even if we could put out all the fires, we absolutely should not.
I don’t think non-Canadians understand just how massive Canada is, and how rugged our terrain is.
It’s not feasible, nor safe, to try and put out every single fire. As the article mentioned many of our forests are fire adapted. Wildfire is a natural part of the ecosystem. It’s not the fire that’s the problem, it’s what humans have done, and continue to do, that is changing the ecology and natural rhythms of the forest.
It sucks, but until we reevaluate our behaviour and make sustained changes this problem isn’t going away.
