Is it just me or am I not seeing a lot of water bombers?.. I've seen footage of wildfires in the past be it here or abroad and much greater presence of these water bombers in the air?.. In light of climate change and the inevitability of more of these fires threatening not just rural but urban settings, perhaps greater investment is needed in firefighting recourses.
It's terrifying to think a whole city like Yellowknife has to evacuate and now an even larger city in Kelowna is under threat. Scary stuff... I really hope we can manage to get these fires under control and these areas catch a break with some rainy weather.
