      Sask is not an indicator of the rest of the world! Do you think the fires in California or the amazon are the same as Saskatchewan?

      Scam is lazy use of a word for those who are ignorant and don't believe the overwhelming science.

      So you don't believe lightening cause fires? LOL

      Nor that there was wind erosion last week? Another laugh!

      You really are a stubborn crank!

        I repeat for the slow learners:

        "Lightning strikes cause the most forest fires in Canada overall, accounting for roughly half of all ignitions but a disproportionate 85% to 90% of the total land burned annually. While human activity (like campfires or ATVs) causes more individual fires close to populated areas early in the season, lightning triggers the massive blazes in remote regions.

        Human-Caused (approx. 50%): While deliberate arson is responsible for some fires, the majority of human-caused fires are unintentional. They are most commonly sparked by improperly discarded cigarette butts, unattended campfires, sparks from off-road vehicles and ATVs, and industrial activity."​

            Saying lightning doesn't cause many forest fires puts you in the really crazy zone!

            Which we already knew from your absurd claim that there was no soil erosion in last weeks massive wind storm.

            You really are a special poster just like BL the flat earther!

            Causes of wildfire
            The fire season in Canada typically lasts from April to October, with the busiest months being mid-May to late August. Periods characterized by hot, dry, and windy weather are more prone to experiencing catastrophic wildfires.
            Lightning strikes are responsible for just under half of all wildfires in Canada, yet they cause over 81 percent of the area burned. This is due to two key factors:
            • Lightning-caused fires frequently occur in isolated locations where human life, property, and timber assets may be unaffected. As a result, detection may be delayed and fire suppression in these places may be purposefully limited, allowing fire to play its natural role.
            • Multiple lightning strikes might occur simultaneously, requiring agencies to make difficult decisions about where to dispatch available firefighting staff and equipment.
            Humans are responsible for slightly more than half of all wildfires in Canada, primarily in densely populated forest and grassland areas. Human-caused wildfires can result from activities such as campfires, off highway vehicles, discarded lit cigarettes, equipment malfunctions, arson, trains, power line failures, fireworks, agricultural burning, outdoor burning, and negligence.
            Both lightning and human-caused fires require a dry forest environment to propagate. Dry conditions create an environment where fires can easily start and rapidly spread, increasing the risk and severity of wildfires.

                    Forest management around cities would go a long way to mitigating forest fire risk. It’s nice to think that we can build wooden structures within evergreen forests for aesthetics but in reality, the danger in doing so isn’t worth it. Fire breaks and water stations around cities are necessary if home owners insist on building in a forest. Should we worry about those who can’t accept the risk of losing everything if someone chucks a cigarette out of the car window 2 miles NW of town? I’m no fire expert but I know concrete, stucco and stone don’t burn, I know I need a fire guard around my farm yard and I know I don’t burn unless I have a water source handy to extinguish a runaway fire.

                      Agreed we need better planning and mitigation in the hotter and drier more extreme world we are creating.

                      Building in forests and flood zones comes with a lot of risk that is shared with insurance.

                      We are all paying the cost of higher insurance payouts because of extreme events and bad planning.
