The Transport Safety Board of Canada investigation found that crack in a fossil gas pipeline caused the 2024 wildfire near Edson, Alberta.
Me: What can we learn from this? What will we do in practice?

Water troubles in Calgary. Emergency Alert "affecting the city's ability to provide water to communities and ensure adequate water is available to support emergency fire suppression."
Climate policy has consequences.

The RMWB gives this map of the fire. The evacuation is still in place but I cannot tell if expanding or not. Some fire already.

Four alerts at the AB Emergency Management Agency.
Due to fires near Grande Prairie and Fort McMurray.

And 39 now with 2 out of control.
To be clear, it is not the absolute number which concern me in itself. However, the more fires there are, the greater the chance one will go big near a populated place. Any of the hundreds already out could have been that but did not. Will the next small fire be the one to take out a village, town or a segment of a city? We do not know.

Alberta wildfires by year to current date of March 2nd. This year is well ahead at 31. Same date in 2023 only had 13.
We have currently 52 active fires meaning by subtraction there are 21 'zombie' fires which have so far survived the winter.
The forecast for the end of the week is again into melting temperatures.

Alberta STILL has 75 wild fires. If any had wind like Edmonton, some will jump from 'Under Control' to 'Being Held' or worse.
Area burned this year is staying stable at 2.2 million ha or 5.4 million acres.
How much fossil fuel is used to fight all these fires? It all adds to the atmospheric carbon load but so does the burned trees.

Good news for #ABFires.
We have cleared all the 'Out of Control' fires. Zero. Nada. None. Zilch.Still 83 fires but this is good.

The FINAL report of the year from CIFFC with 24 less active fires than the previous report. The #wildfire season is now 12 months even if some want to look away. Expect more smoke.

Moving up!
Alberta now has 84 active wild fires. Lowest I saw was 78 in recent months but perhaps it dropped a bit lower. Meanwhile, 2.2 MILLION Ha or 5.4 MILLION acres have burned in areas with provincial responsibility.*

Map of active fires in western Canada from the CIFFC home page as taken 18 Sept 2023.
Just now looking and Alberta seems to have relatively more yellow tags for Under Control than other places. In comparing AB and SK, I could find no definition of type which would explain this. BC has mountains and getting at fires is complicated by that. Is this visible difference by resources then?
-
It is back up. Well 79 to 80 active wildfires in Alberta. I guess BC is down insignificantly to 396. Last I saw was 400 -- about 1% change.
I wonder which fire(s) are smoking Edmonton but it is not bad right now compared to other times in 2023.#ABwildfires #ABfires #ClimateCrisis

Any guesses on which Canadian city will need evacuation next to fight a fire? And when?
Timmins? Nipigon? Flin Flon? Shelburne? So many others I could pick all directly beside forest. Will Yellowknife be the last big scramble this year? I hope but next April or May it starts again.

Edmonton, July 15th vs August 5th. About the same time of day, similar weather, similar cloud cover. #ABfires #YEGwx #ClimateChange

First pic: When your air quality is this…
Second pic: … and your outdoors looks like this…
Third pic: …your furnace filter looks like this (and boy do you go through A LOT of them if running air conditioning).
Skye is safe inside. 💜 I had to wear a mask just to water the garden and flowers outside today. 😔

I will wait.
From Enviro Can Forecast for Edmonton
"Widespread smoke early this morning."
