Wildfire in Manitoba, intense and growing. See GOES East mid-ir band - bright white indicates active fire. Also, attached is the fine fuel moisture code (ffmc) map- areas greater than 91 ( red areas) means that dead fuel moisture is 10% or less. Very dry fuels.

The 2019 Alberta wildfire season is on track to consume the second most amount of land in the history of the province, warn officials. “The warmer we get, the longer the fire season and we’re seeing that in Alberta already.” #ABWildfire #AbFire edmontonjournal.com/news/loc…

I wanted to create a podcast series with Indigenous peoples from around the world talking about fire stewardship. We did it-thanks to @CanadaWildfire, @FiresticksA, & the California Indian Water Commission. See below for Episode 1- with myself & Matt talking about good fire in 🇨🇦

If you're enjoying the outdoors this #CanadaDay long weekend, be cautious with any activity that could spark a #BCwildfire. It's also a great opportunity to #FireSmart your property if you're staying close to home. More info: bcfireinfo.for.gov.bc.ca/hpr… @BCFireSmart
Seven #BCWildfire service rapattack firefighters will be heading to #Alaska today to assist with their wildfire situation. They use helicopters and rope rappelling techniques to access remote areas and to attack fires while they are still small. We wish them safety and success!
