    Emergency Preparedness Minister Harjit Sajjan says dozens of firefighters from Alberta and British Columbia will help fight wildfires in California, and the federal government is co-ordinating efforts with the provinces to deploy resources.

    Sajjan says in a social media post that 60 firefighters from the two provinces will be deployed as soon as Monday, and that Canadian officials are working to identify and prepare more resources to send in the days ahead.

    Alberta announced last week that it is sending up to 40 wildland firefighters with more personnel, waterbombers and contracted night-vision helicopters ready to deploy.

    B.C.’s forests minister, meanwhile, has said a crew from the province’s wildfire service left for California on Saturday afternoon to help battle the wildfires ravaging the Los Angeles area.

    Quebec said Friday it will send two more firefighting aircraft to California, a day after one of the province’s water bombers collided with a drone while battling the wildfires. The Canadian-made CL-415 was one of the province's two planes that was already helping in the wildfire.

    Their crews are sent to California every fall as part of an annual contract that has been in place for more than 30 years...

    Alberta's Forestry and Parks Minister said on social media on Saturday that the 40 firefighters from Alberta are a "trained and experienced" crew of Type 1 wildland firefighters...additional Type 1 firefighters, incident command personnel, and qualified support staff are ready to go, if requested.

    He added that Alberta is also preparing its water bombers, pilots, and contracted night vision helicopters to assist in California.

    ....

    Good grief. I guess we're so damn polite we need a written invitation...

    Yeah, I saw the news story about some idiot flying a drone so close to the plane that it actually crashed into its left wing! 
    That water bomber is out of service while they repair an actual hole in the leading edge of the wing.
    Man, I hope they catch that fool, and prosecute him to the fullest extent of the law!
    Sorry, Canada.

    Holy crap that is a huge hole! I thought it was like a dinky little ding.  I read you guys will fine people for a thousand bucks n time, too, maybe even.

    Anyhow, just read 24 dead thus far, so guess all this is peanuts compared to that.

    sadly we here , in general , have lost that sense of community. we see it briefly in the face of disaster. the advent of cable television, the internet, cell phones(which have become handheld computers with access to the world) have isolated us from each other .  the coming together fades rathet quickly.

    I cannot believe the fucking idiots that I keep seeing blame this shit on the mayor and/or governor. How blind and stupid does one have to be to accept that?

    And they break it down to the simplest terms...they are too stupid to be sure the fire hydrants were full, they didn't fill up the reservoirs, they left 60 firetrucks stalled at the CA border due to emissions issues, etc. Fucking stupidity.

    certain vehicles are exempt. But modern fire equipment would be an issue anyway.
