I've been trying to get details on the Canada fires and all I get is articles about how it's affecting the air quality in the States, or how pissed Canadians are at the politicians for not deploying management teams and suppression resources.

Obviously they need to send us up there. Just completed our annual RT130 training. Let's go!
Yep. My red bag is packed.
Even got extra chonies.

WTF????
I'm just sitting here waiting for the phone to ring, and they are letting frog eaters help out? We are WAY more experienced than those Euro-trash clowns.
Be careful what you wish for. Prime time in California is right around the corner. From what I’ve read here and what my kid in Santa Rosa has told me there was plenty of rain last winter up there. Our resident firefighters should catch some waves now, come September I think you’ll get all that you want plus more. I hope not.
watched this last night....

A+ for fire footage and the narrative content was accurate although a bit awkward at times
overall would recommend watching it
dana brown should do a documentary on wildlands firefighters (not just hotshots). that would be epic!

We drove by their memorial (South of Prescott) on the way home from Sedona this fall. Stopped to pay respect. There is a hike up the hill but we didn't have time to do it.watched this last night....

Awesome. I see the patch I put up there a couple years ago heavily faded, but still there. Did the hike at sunset on Mother's Day and went all the way down to the fatality site. I was all alone and it was completely silent. Absolutely surreal.
Is British Columbia considered the PNW?
We have numerous wildfires burning here with many out of control.
Check this out.

Take care.
My friend is camping in Western Montana and surrounded by wildfires at the moment. No campfires. No propane stoves.
Sept-Nov is usually the season round these parts.
View from my driveway this eve. Gonna sleep so well tonight.
I wouldn't say so. Plenty of fires in OR as seen above and more in WA and a ton in BC also stated above.
Time to go brother.
Lots of unburned fuel between you and the head of the fire, and based on the direction of that smoke column, its headed your way.
