I lived in Western Canada since 93 and it’s crazy how bad the last two years have been. Calgary’s August was brutal.

  Do you think there's been any focus on ways to prevent these more? I imagine they are in very remote regions where there actually is very low risk of harm directly from the fires. I wonder if there is any possibility of using drones or satellite imaging to identify them early in a way that allows them to be put out before it becomes too expensive a problem to tackle. I don't know if that would actually help though because a lot of people argue it's a change in forest management and prescribed burns that allows these bigger problems to develop.
