Smoke/poo question

[Miss Lydia]

I saw the smoke is becoming toxic and is releasing Benzene and Formaldehyde into the atmosphere. We are having the smoke even here and we’re mid south in the US.
Make you wonder why they can’t get these fires under control.

I agree

If you check out this site, it might help to understand the extent of the problems getting these fires under control. Many areas have had a very dry spring so the forests are dry. Many of these areas are also very remote. Variety of reasons these fires start including lightening strikes and human carelessness - unattended fires, tossing cigarettes' out of windows.
Assistance is coming to Canada from other countries. I'm sure the fire fighters are doing their best in exhausting, frustrating conditions.

I can sure understand we live in the wood and it's very nerve-wracking to think someone walking around the mountains can just drop a cigarette and the forest burns. It has happened here before too.

I was told by someone who lives in Canada that some of the fires were set deliberately.
I just hope they can get them under control think of all the wildlife that is being affected too. And of course the humans.
