I guess someone forgot to rake the forest.

it makes it much nicer to get the news that its going to cost $10,000 to fix a diesel engine because the exhaust system is clogged due to a bad regen sensor. I'd hate to think what the skies would be like if one of my pickups was putting unscrubbed diesel exhaust into the air.

We are helping to fumigate New York.

They canceled the Yankees game because of this.

Seems a little better right now. At about 1:30 PM it looked like it was 8 PM, had to turn the inside lighting on!

P.S. Quebec says they have enough firefighters for 30 fires, and there's over a hundred out of control ones. USA & France are sending 200 more firefighters, they're mobilizing military, and Trudeau is negotiating with other countries for more help (like Chile & Portugal)

Other Canadian provinces are apparently too busy fighting their own fires to lend help.

Wow, 200 firefighters is not enough to have a Type 1 fire team, which is for one large complex fire. I get that we need our teams for our soil, but 200 is not shit.

Professional wild fire teams are all the rage, and that shit pays very well, plus hazard and overtime wages.

So, what's the deal up there. Low Winter snowfall amounts or low Spring rains? Or both maybe?

I think its high heat & drought. Its not low snowfall. One of the Youtubers I watch is a commercial beekeeper in Manitoba. They had a ton of snowfall and it even snowing into April. He was really desperate to get his bees out of the storage shed and into the yards.

Hard to believe it could go from ample moisture from the Winter snows to wildfires up there so fast. Spring rains must have failed completely.

Yeah, if I recall, they haven't had any good rains, just light misty stuff if it does happen

This was April 21st in Manitoba. I don't think he got his bees in the yard until like 2 weeks later. I had not realized it but he can't put bees out when the ground is covered with snow. They basically become snowblind and can't orient, then crash into the snow & die.

Softwood, especially pine, burns really fast and hot.

[Biker]

Remind me to fix the bullshit ‘punishments’ we’ve made to Howies acct. it impacts us more than him and has outlived its initial usefulness

[disco.moon]

Smoke is bad.

You need to think things out more thoroughly before rushing in with your glee! Backfire is the word that comes to mind right now. Night all!

Its cute that you think I'm the one who did it.

[Charliesheen]

Meh. Fires are a critical part of forest management.

Let ‘em burn. And enjoy the benefits of nature-induced global cooling.

[Ricrude]

Smoke is bad.

JUST CALL THE BEAR FOR CHRIST SAKE!

But now its interfering with important shit

[CHEEZY17]
