All time manhunt press conference question:

"Sir, was there any concern he would team up with another small man to step inside a trench coat Little Rascals style?"

From a Canadian firefighter who knows what’s going on:
#canada #wildfire #smoke
(Worth the read)

“I know you may know, but people need to know and understand that most Canadian wildfire management agencies have fire “zonation” policies similar to Alaska.

This means in large areas of their jurisdictions, especially in the northern part of the country, wildfires are left to run there natural course w little or no direct action or suppression. We’ll protect values at risk, ie. infrastructure, communities, critical habitat or culturally significant features on the landscape, we’ll map them and maybe try to burn them to natural barrier, fight one flank and let the rest roll (limited action) but we are not putting them out.

On many of the fires we don’t even try. A number of these fires are huge boreal gobblers (I am currently assigned to a 250,000 ha fire, well over 600,000 acres and you could fit the org. chart on one side of a beer can).

The only thing that is going to put out this fire out and many across the country is winter, 5 months from now. It’s going to be a long, smoky summer for everyone. You have a wide reach, it would be great if you can help people understand these dynamics in the Canadian wildfire scene when they’re bitching about the smoke.

Cheers 🍻 and thanks.”

Pretty decent picture of what’s going on. Thanks for the insight.

In the industry we call this letting a fire “Do its thing”. It’s especially common in these vast boreal forests. Siberia does the same thing. Identify hazards and values at risk, mitigate, let it go.

Cheers.

Today in Canada:
#wildfire #canada #Alberta

📷1) British Columbia: The Donnie Creek Fire in northern BC is now 412,000 acres. It made a 74,000 acre run yesterday.

📷2/3) Quebec: Thousands evacuated due to multiple fires. One already 25,000 acres.

📷4) Alberta: Massive fire today near the community of Fort Chipewyan.

Nova Scotia: Banned ALL outdoor recreational activities for the foreseeable future due to the extreme fire risk.
This includes: hiking, fishing, forestry work, mining operations, OHVs, dirt road access, boating, biking, and more.

They have also increased the fine for breaking the burn ban from $250 to $25,000. I bet the Tantallon Fire had something to do with that.

Saskatchewan: The entire community of La Loche Saskatchewan is being evacuated due to multiple fires burning close to the community.

Busy day up North.

At least 21 people died after a fire erupted in a Beijing hospital on Tuesday. Patients trapped inside were forced to balance on air-conditioning units, awaiting rescue, while at least one jumped to a roof below to escape the flames and smoke. https://t.co/0HbZOspOKi

We have entered into a frightening era. Our new opponents are not in uniform. They are corporations, criminal, syndicates/cartels, and even international nonprofit organizations. Fight for liberty.

I like how "NORAD" is trending like it's the end of the world when we could be focusing on the actual problem at hand which is one monopoly of a two-duopoly system almost blowing up a town off the map because of improper maintenance checks for maximizing profit.

Heard this story about how the bodies of people who die of thirst in the desert are often found carrying full bottles of water because they’re afraid that if they drink it they won’t have enough left to make it out of the desert

Lately, I've noticed everybody looks OK until you eventually have a deep conversation with them. And then, you'll realize that, this is a sad generation of people struggling to survive through smiling faces and pretty pictures.

It happened to me AND IT CAN HAPPEN TO YOU:
I was hanging out with 2 people and the one I know better left the room for a few minutes
