Take a drive through a wildfire in Lebel-sur-Quevillon, Quebec. The firefighters that traveled across an ocean from Portugal shared this video with me. #wildfire #canada They were very pleased to have worked with Hotshot crews from the United States and found the experience to be rewarding. Cheers to them. 🙏🍻

Is it normal for 80 forest fires to light in one single day AND all within one single POLITICAL boundary (Quebec) AND not a single fire being lit outside that political geography? Please help me understand more...

Let’s talk about it: (please share) It is well known by now, the folks that have left the wildfire industry in the last few years have been your experienced overhead staff. #wildfire #congress I talked about this on the last podcast episode. This can ultimately cause the younger folks coming into the industry to be more exposed to unknown dangers and hazards. Massive archives of situational awareness “slides” walking out the door with millions of dollars in training. This is not confined to the United States. Canada has also said retention and recruitment of overhead and supervisory positions with incredible amounts of wildfire knowledge are leaving. Tragically, in Canada, two young firefighters died on the line just this last week. If you lose 2 Squadies, you just lost 26 years of fire-line experience. If you lose a Supt and 2 Squadies, you just lost 50+ years of high functioning operational experience. Multiply that by 10 crews and you’ve lost 500 years of highly specialized wildfire knowledge and experience… This is happening. It is a massive safety issue waiting to happen. I love wildfire, I love the people in it, they don’t want to leave. It’s actually the hardest thing to do. But when they see wage legislation lingering, and politicians and agency heads claiming “budgets” are the reason they cannot get them the raises they want… they get bitter because our government spends money like it’s going out of style while claiming “there’s none left for you.” Everyone in wildfire deserves a raise, it’s long overdue. But the higher you work your way up the chain with the new legislation, the less there is for the folks with experience and knowledge of the industry. They have also said portal to portal is on the table but they put a $9k cap on it. “Wages for work life balance, but not too much.” Congress and agency heads need to grow a pair and give these folks what they deserve. THE AMERICAN PEOPLE SUPPORT IT. Some of the wildfire supervisors essentially will still take a pay cut after the wages are “adjusted.” If more overhead folks leave, expect more lessons learned documents and 48 hour incident reports. Agencies said they are on a “safety journey” this year. Well, no better way to increase safety then retain the literal thousands of years of experience that you currently have. $200B is unaccounted for from the pandemic relief payments, enough to fund the wildfire raises for 100+ years. But Congress can’t give firefighters what they deserve because “budgets.” The Hotshot Wake Up: Thank you to all the subscribers. Thanks to Mann Made Cinema for the footage. 🙏
