Germstore posted:The news also said it jumped a 1 km wide river which is- quite a thing. Apparently people's yards were being lit while the main body was still a few km's away. Embers were being sent ahead of the fire and landing on dry grass, so fire-fighters would be trying to establish a line, then turning around and seeing a new fire that was in the process of encircling them or cutting off a road. Alberta has been having drought-like summer conditions for over a month, and everything is a stray cigarette butt from being a new wildfire. There were some people who were saying, "Just get a few dozen bulldozers and made a swath of dirt a few lanes wide and this fire will be licked. When you have a fire that can catapult itself multiple kilometres ahead of itself, you can see how laughable ideas like that are. The video Keg posted of the guy running past a plate sized fire in his back yard and "making a hasty exit" is a good example of how impossible something like this is to fight.

It's also dry as gently caress here right now with strong winds so embers are going to carry across that mile-wide bulldozed path that goons seem triumphant over thinking about.

Yeah, Canada generally goes from wet-winter to tinder-dry conditions in the forests overnight these days. Campfire bans generally start in march now and go straight through to october.

Russia is offering to "save us" with their super water bombers. Canada's defense plan against existential threats has for the past century and a half (sadly) been to suck up to America so they have fiscal and moral obligation to save our burning rear end. But is it really time to abandon Obama's avuncular lap and run to the paternal grasp of Putin? https://news.vice.com/article/russia-has-made-a-questionably-sincere-offer-to-help-put-out-canadas-forest-fires

The North Pole Wars is the most passive aggressive war. Maybe if we find more frozen corpses of British Explorers from the Victorian Era we can claim their untimely graves as Historically important Canadian Territory and the Russians will go away because of... politeness.

crowoutofcontext posted:Russia is offering to "save us" with their super water bombers. When you're dealing with a forest fire of this scale and speed, even a water bomber 10x larger than what they're currently using is just spitting into an inferno and hardly going to make a difference. Some of the water bombers already working there have said that the fires have either burned through, or hopped over their fire-retardant strips like they weren't even there.
