Right? Jasper did not have to burn down. The Government of Alberta has been slashing and burning forestry services and firefighting budgets to save a few million dollars. Vehemently opposed by statistics, the Government did it anyway. Kamloops shouldn’t have happened. It did. No solutions have been made. Ridiculous.

@danielmirlach4655 Ай бұрын

Start bringing down trees ahead of the fire and create a burn barrier, and police the line. It's been done many a time, instead of waiting for it to burn. I'm not sure why such clean up practices aren't in effect in such dry areas in advance in case of forest fire. Clean up nearby dead foliage, fallen trees, etc. Some preemptive action, and quick action could have done a lot.

I too sad regarding Jasper and it's residence. However, for the future, it's imperative that it is mentioned the extensive use of wood roofing. Seems unwise to use such practices in this location. If such material is used, a water dispensing system needs to be installed on the roof. Also, fire break lines - perhaps at a distance from the community, should be maintained.
