Fire and Rescue NSW welcomes home Canadian firefighting deployment
29 June 2023
A handful of Fire and Rescue NSW (FRNSW) firefighters has arrived home in Sydney as part of an Australasian relief team returning from Canada where it’s helped battle that nation’s wildfire emergency.
Four of the nine FRNSW firefighters, dispatched to the province of Alberta returned today, with five more colleagues about to leave Canada.
The FRNSW personnel were appointed to a variety of leadership roles such as Logistics Managers, Safety and Information Officers, Task Force Commanders and Strike Team leaders, tackling many out-of-control blazes across hundreds of thousands of hectares.
Along with dozens of colleagues from the NSW Rural Fire Service, the National Parks and Wildlife Service and Forestry NSW, the Australians joined firefighters from all over the world to support the emergency response.

As a native Canadian with an Aussie heart, I want to thank you from the bottom of said heart for doing everything you did to help save our beautiful lands. It was devastating to watch, hear, and smell every burning down here, and now I know all too well the heart wrenching pain Australia went through during the Black Summer of 2019-2020.

Some of the footage is unbelievable... when you see a raging wild fire that is kilometers long, there is no way to put it out directly. Creating wide Fire Breaks far ahead of the front and maybe aerial tankers to hold the fire break. Let it burn it's self out. The one scene with raging fire to front of pickup and fire raging in rear-view mirror is scary. One thing for sure... the mates from NSW has lots of experience fighting wild fires.

and yet we have even more storms on the way, one wildfire in bc is the size of all the land that burned last year in bc. just..... so much damage, so much to try and fight a fire that isn't reachable in the first place.
