Alberta’s drought shaping up to be ‘worse than we saw in the 1920s, 1930s’

The forest fire situation will be causing some sleepless nights for the guys with multiple helicopters sitting in the yard.
Mowing grass around the home base is poor utilization of the pilots but you can't just cut them all loose.

When you think about the logistics of that industry, it's a miracle that there are any trained people and any equipment available when the time comes considering that they may sit for years on end. Son-in-law of my neighbor has a fire truck of some description they hire out when there are Forest fires. Doesn't appear to be a money-making proposition when it may not get used for years on end. There are lots of politics of who gets called where and when.
So many things we take for granted.
Maybe it's a good thing Chuck's friends are busy starting climate change fires, at least this way we can keep our firefighters gainfully employed.

Ah yes, but thanks to semantics that is not man-made climate change, that is woman made climate change.

So it wasn't hot and dry in 2021 with the a serious drought? And the only cause of the extreme fire season was arson? LOL

Arson is the only cause of fires according to wacko rabid climate change deniers?

I wonder how she covered such a vast territory lighting all the fires. maybe she had a helicopter?

I would be willing to bet half the fires are causes by atvs.
couldnt be cigarettes anymore.. last time i saw someone smoking was in 2022 or so.

Lots of smokers traveling from the north here.

No ashtrays in the vehicles now.

90% of spring fires are human caused as there is very little lightning.

What do they say about ashtrays on ATV’s?

[furrowtickler]

Probably one of the coolest / wettest last 45 days in most of western Canada in over a decade I am guessing.
