Hopefully the fact that this was a national park that was affected will make the federal government start considering a federal wildfire fighting program.
Firefighting is in the province’s purview, so they would have to sign on to the fed’s taking control … which will never happen.
Edit to add … On a good note DeHavilland is building a manufactuting plant in Calgary to pump out the “DHC-515 Firefighter … to build on the history of the Canadair CL-215 and CL-415 aircraft” source. That’s good news for the whole world as the 215 and 415 continue to be the workhorses of forest fire fighting.
