Canada's wildfires may be impossible to extinguish?

Wildfires are a natural part of the ecology. Preventing them until the flammable biomass builds up to catastrophic proportions is not natural.

Uh, winter? Oh, I forgot. No snow.

[Texas Eagle]

Try water.

Just spitballin'.

200 PERCENT SMOKE TARRRIF.

Wildfires are something to think about today, it being the 80th anniversary of dropping Little Boy on Hiroshima. How is that related?

Because Japan launched about 9,000 Fu-Go incendiary balloon bombs intended to start tons of forest fires in the U.S. That's one reason I don't lose sleep over the A-bombs.

Fire did not exist before the first human beings? Learn something new every day.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

It’s normal to let such huge fires burn until the rainy / snowy season puts them out. Nothing new.

[Veto!]

I always feel terrible about the wild animals killed in fires, from the lowliest mouse to the large deer and moose.

[dagunk]

Canada simply does not have the resources or infrastructure to deal with the fires.

[Salamander]

Yep.

😢

Not all of these.

Spending some time in Chicago right now at a conference with a couple of priests from Saskatchewan. They told me there have been arrests in the north for arson. According to them, some of the arrests were made on people who set fires in order to obtain work as firefighters.

The Albany Times Union headline read:

The Times Union is a liberal rag.

Talked to one of the people i dealt with who was head of a major forest products corporation. Yesterday.

Over 700 separate fires, over 16 million acres burned.

Around 200 or so of those fires are left to burn without any attempt to fight them at this time.

[crz]

“Head of a major corporations area forestry division.”

[House Atreides]

Impossible to extinguish? Forest fires will ALWAYS extinguish themselves at some point.

[ansel12]

You don’t think the chemtrails are making it impossible to put out? What happened to that theory?

[IYAS9YAS]

Well, at some point, they should run out of fuel.

[BitWielder1]

Would it not be better to use that wood for something rather than letting it burn wild?
That means more logging, not less, will protect wildlife.

[Organic Panic]

I’m not too familiar with those forests in Canada but if it is like the BC forests they have planted single species commercial trees which are hard to keep healthy and when the fire goes they burn like grass. But it’s all natural. It will burn, and it will grow back.

And for at least the past 100 years these unmanaged forests did not burn, despite lightening storms that must have happened over that time. Why now?
