There more than 5,000 fires burning across Canada. Most of them are just monitored and allowed to burn. it is literally impossible to fight most of them because of the amount of resources required. Some of them in remote areas have been burning since spring. |
I must be an idiot because I can't get that website to show me where the fires are located. I figured the red squares were showing the location of the fires but that can't be accurate. My best friend's place is in the Poplar Point area and has been only under a fire-alert status since the fire jumped the lake (with actual fires > 2km distance away from them) yet that website has had red squares situated over their place this entire time.
