“She gone.” Alberta ripped today. Extreme Fire weather was wide spread across the Canadian Province.
#Wildfire#Canada
Here, the Deep Creek Complex chunked through ground and she ran away.
We discussed the different tactics the U.S. Hotshot crews have to get used to up there on today’s podcast. Canada has requested more resources from international partners.
Some wetter weather may roll through this weekend to help the fight.
This incredible footage was shared with us from Flathead WFF. Cheers as always brother. 🙏🍻
The wildfire situation is worsening daily and authorities are scrambling to find personnel to protect at-risk communities. @GregMcLeanYYC@MichelleRempel, please tell the federal gov't to look at the IAFF's RTI proposal and get this training underway ASAP! https://t.co/JDmK235buj
So grateful to the teams of firefighters working right now across AB. Keeping Alberta safe means preparing for future emergencies. Faster responses make a big difference. The Alberta NDP will restore aerial wildfire-fighting teams. #abndp

I have never seen a vertical wall of smoke like this one near Fox Creek, Alberta on Sunday.
And the strangest thing about this moment was I couldn't smell any smoke.

Intense, crown fire activity continued across much of northern Alberta on Monday.
This was shot in the back country well west of Fox Creek. #ABfire#ABwildfires
Forest fire smoke in Calgary. UCP cut forest firefighters rope squad in 2019. Their job was to drop in on small fires and put them down before they go out of control. Saved 1.4 mil $. Now 17,000 evacuated. Millions of dollars lost. Thanks UCP!
"We could have been difference-makers" — firefighters from Alberta's rappel-attack team say the Kenney-era UCP made serious mistake when it cut program in 2019. And now, province lacks a key tool for fighting today's wildfires, they say.
