alt Hacker News> Canada’s complete and total refusal to conduct proper forest management
Care to say more? Have they been suppressing fires in the forest way out in the middle of nowhere for decades?

They're supposed to go into forests in the middle of nowhere and do controlled burns.
And no, 37degC does not cause wood to spontaneously combust. This is just gross negligence, same thing that happens in California.
What does the middle of nowhere have to do with this? We have technology that allows us to fly. You fly out, conduct controlled burns, cut out bad growth, install firebreaks. This is not an unsolved for process. For whatever reason, it’s not happening and these fires are the result. People really need to stop thinking so one dimensionally about these kinds of problems.
