In the provinces where the fires are burning, authorities will have to spend more money this year to attract people to the ranks of rescuers than before.
One of the largest wildfires in recent years is raging in Canada, the situation is made worse by the fact that the country does not have enough firefighters. About this on Saturday, June 24, Reuters wrote.
It is known that a total of 5,500 rescuers are involved in extinguishing the fire. However, according to Mike Flanigan, professor at Thompson Rivers University in British Columbia and wildfire specialist, this is not enough. Canada needs 2,500 firefighters to effectively fight forest fires, he estimated.
“It’s hard work with long-term health implications. So it’s getting harder and harder to recruit people,” he explained.
The agency said that municipalities facing fires are forced to spend a lot of money on the work of rescuers this year.
“The teams had to work 12-14 hours, for two weeks straight,” the report said.
Reuters said that the country’s authorities must solve this issue in the near future, because in the future “the fire may grow.”
“Limited resources could threaten Canada’s ability to fight fires that are expected to become larger and more intense in the future as a result of climate change. This could cause more damage to the population and disrupt the oil and gas industry. gas, mining and forestry of the country. ,” the publication pointed out.
Recall that fires often occurred in Moscow and the Moscow region in May. Specifically, the building of the military registration and enlistment office was on fire. And at the end of May, several fires broke out in Moscow at once.
