As Canada faces the most severe wildfire season in its recorded history, questions regarding leadership, firefighting strategies, and the future of affected communities have come to the forefront. The devastating consequences of these fires have touched the lives of residents and left an indelible mark on the environment, demanding immediate attention and action.

Amidst the ongoing crisis, a concerning fact has emerged from trusted sources: new emergency coordinators tasked with addressing these wildfires lack firefighting experience. This revelation raises eyebrows, especially considering the dire circumstances faced by communities dealing with low water levels and inadequate fire protection measures. With outdated leadership and a lack of emphasis on scientific advancements and educational initiatives, it becomes increasingly important to question how we arrived at this point and what lies ahead.

In many areas, indigenous firefighting units have been left significantly behind in basic training. Despite their crucial role in safeguarding their communities, the resources allocated to their training and development have been insufficient. This disparity not only hampers their ability to combat the wildfires effectively but also jeopardizes the lives and properties of those they seek to protect. It is disheartening to witness a lack of willingness from leadership to address this urgent issue and adapt to advanced and new age firefighting methods.

Additionally, it is alarming to note that fire fighting science, technology, and tactics have not seen substantial advancements within the leadership structures. As the fires rage across eleven provinces and territories, it is evident that the current firefighting methods are struggling to keep pace with the scale and intensity of these infernos. Furthermore, without a concerted effort to embrace cutting-edge technologies, scientific research, and updated tactics the vicious cycle of devastation will continue to repeat itself.

The people, who bear the brunt of these catastrophic events, must now demand answers. How did we arrive at this point? Who is responsible for the lack of progress? What will happen next? These questions need urgent attention and transparent accountability from those in positions of power.
