I hope you get some rain to put those fires out. My animals seem to react more to it than I do, no doubt because theyre smarter. We had bad fires back in 2019 and record rain since. It's dog blanket blowing weather here today!

It’s been very dry and unseasonably hot out west this Spring, add to that a lack of snow pack from the winter, and the forests are tinder dry.

Then to make things worse in the Boreal Forest fire can and does smoulder under ground in the muskeg (bogs) dry peat. It will creep along under ground until it bursts through a dead tree, and all those coniferous trees are full of pitch which burns like crazy. The trees go up like Roman candles.

Of course fire is a part of the forest, the seed cones need the fire to crack open the cones so new trees germinate and grow.
