Meet the firefighters battling B.C.'s wildfires

[@fillup316]

18 dollars an hour are they serious? should be at least 30.

[@pathurd4986]

Canada $ 10.000.000.00 for Omar Khadr ?

[@keepyourdumbassopinionstoy8375]

I agree, the lowest pay rate for a wildland firefighter here in Alberta is $21.08/hr

[@domesticatedwolverine4152]

Firefighters should be tax exempt

[@don-cw1yz]

The firefighters from all over Canada are heading to B.C. to help .Now that is Canada .Provinces helping Provinces ,Canadians helping Canadians . Great to see this happening .

[@Fordraptor12]

I literally thought he had a cigar in his mouth from the thumbnail lmao 🤣

[@rregad4386]

Me too, it's a professional fireman 😂

[@donshilo2024]

$18 for the people keeping you safe?

[@clairemoon3722]

We appreciate all these brave men and women. They risk their lives!! Be safe! Such hard work too! One day we will not have to worry about wildfires. Revelation 21:3,4

[@daniel-fd9ih]

[@watchthe1369]

creating a defensive belts around cities is probably the best defense, then let the fuels burn off. If the companies want to defend their timber stands, let them.

[@awwpaw4797]

I wonder how they d fight against the fire among giant trees :0?

[@benl.8100]

Dat stache tho

[@slopcrusher3482]

Give these boys some fire shelters already, it would drop the fatality rate.

[@juniors.6085]

The BCWS hasnt had any deaths due to burns in over 20 years...

[@Briebabcock8052]

Look, what ya'll need to do is thin out the majority of timber stands like what we are doing here in the states. Hell, do what Sweden does. They have thinned out timber stands yet they harvest these stands, but they pick through them keeping them thinned out. Instead fighting the fires, thin out stands by calculating a natural number of trees per acre (which changes) and then do controlled burns and it'll keep the forests healthy and clean.

[@rubyjames3105]

we have waaaaay too much forest for that, and a lot of it is unbelievably remote.

[@rchuck9295]

Yes, well what you don’t understand about Canada (Stephen Grenoble) is that we have no common sense. See in Canada we give tens of millions of dollars to terrorists. and our prime minister calls himself a feminist. so don’t expect us to get forestry right

[@Keinlicht]

Yeah, especially when half the people in the capital towns think that logging is evil.

[@TonchyShultz]

I can only say this: We should pay attention for forest and trees ...If all forest burn we will burn rapidly after them..! Omg :-( I live in Alberta we had last night sleep bedroom like "Smoke House" I install double Filter on our INTAKE (air cold from outside)..!I suggested this to other people it will protect you from ash and smoke! OK I don't understand way they made "control fire"..??..more pollution in sky ...! What I think is better cut some "cutline parallel" in forest and divide section by section of forest easy to stop forest fire, use those cutting wood( lumber) ..! :-(

[@randynaveau8436]

Like the old days we put it out no matter what that's forest management

[@jamesjohnny3085]

khowutzun warriors fire crew from 09 to 14. warrior 51, native crew aswell. island/ mainland fire experience and most times it's more than small 14 hour days. up to 18 hours.

[@bluemountain555]

In the summer of 1999, I was involved in an altercation with Captain Robert David Taylor from the Richmond Fire-Rescue. After the incident, I felt that as far as I’m concerned, Capt. Bob Taylor can burn his way to hell the next time he fights a fire. For this reason, I have absolutely no sympathy, sadness, pity, or guilt whatsoever when I found out that he committed suicide as a result of PTSD on October 14, 2018. In fact, I’m ecstatic because even though this despicable fireman didn’t perish as a result of fighting a fire, the fact that he decided to punish him by killing himself is just as satisfying for me.

What he do

[@emmanuelawosusi3276]

Can I use pull on style boots, that can be used for wild land firefighting ?

[@danielwilliams4489]

I want to be one.

[@schlooonginator1227]

$18 an hour? What a joke. Should start at $28

[@juh7025]

When you see there work ethic out there and how little they actually do you start see why

[@palestiniansojourner3231]

blame the liberals i guess

[@406bullrider5]

I do

[@CalvinStylezz]

@@406bullrider5 yup

[@406bullrider5]

Are Canadians not required to carry fire shelters?

[@CalvinStylezz]

no longer issued fire shelters. just finished my wild lands firefighter courses in Alberta and asked that myself seeing it wasn't in the gear issued to wild lands fire crews

[@kilo5659]

Discontinued in BC in '05 because they were never deployed. The forests are generally too dense for good deployment too.

[@gabrielbizeau-regis6228]

We don't use them in Quebec either. It's densly forested and we rely on VERY effective communication instead. We haven't had wildland firefighters died from burns in a very long time.
