Father 🚒 Fire Chief 🚨 Masters in Disaster Emergency Management 🔥 FireSmart
this seems worthy of follow up.
With a heavy heart I asked other disaster managers that worked the #JasperWildfire straight up why mutual aid from Edmonton and larger departments like St Albert and Red Deer was not requested (I was with EFRS at the time and know for a fact we had trucks ready to go... Trucks…
There is more than one fail on this topic... And the use of private firefighting departments (from video) are a whole other topic, which include funding failures and a need for a federal wildland firefighting force which I constantly advocate for. ctvnews.ca/edmonton/artic…

A message to politicians. 🔥 Canada's economy took a hit of 8 billion in 2024 due to wildfire disasters. You can't have a strong economy when Canada is burning. We need more funding and capacity for firefighting & wildfire resilience initiatives. #cdnpoli

🚒 🚑 I just want people to know that when they thank a first responder after a call or just passing by on the street it isnt a small thing. It actually means the world to them and makes up for some of the terrible things they carry with them everyday. ❤️
Up to 150 personnel have been requested to head up to Canada from the United States in the first order. Looking like a PNW team, some overhead, aviation, and 5 crews. Sounds like crews will be grabbed from multiple regions. Another request beyond this order has gone in as well.…
