Remember when they did controlled burns to manage forests?

I had to evacuate for 5 days because of the Antler Creek Fire. My cat is so happy to be home. We are still under alert. The rain helped but it is still out of control.

Nature has the right to defend itself.

How about we ask for our money back from Ukraine and use it for firefighters?

So far most of our fires on the west coast have been human started this yr. The worst fire in CA was started buy a guy pushing a broken down over heated car off a cliff just outside of town in Chico. He was arrested almost immediately.

BC, Alberta, and California are lit rn

Why is the invasive Japanese Pine Beetle never mentioned anymore? This beetle has turned Canada's forests into dead standing kindling.

If we all drove Tesla's these fires would be just as they are today.

How about reinvesting in fire fighting equipment and fire bombers instead of Ukraine?

WED backwards. End game. Unnatural disasters produce by some nefarious group that have bought a one way ticket to hell.

Yes, 'an official located in each city'. 1:59 That would certainly solve the problem !

[PyramidgodMeekman]

So why do we not log more and plant new trees?

Meanwhile in North Carolina we are getting too much rain every day. Our outside workers can't even work outside.

Weather manipulation and direct energy weapons 👌

Does this fire look familiar? Jasper fire looks ezactly like this one in California. Same orange flame, same pattern. Coincidence??

[omiid]

But our tax dollars are sent to Ukraine instead 😐

[lawrencekimoff]

Sounds like more taxes are needed to stop fires.

No point in replanting in dry times.. just new fuel.

The wildfire situation just keeps getting worse.
