After subdued summer, Alberta should brace for more wildfires this fall, experts say
Wildfire activity in the province has been escalating in recent weeks, driven by scorching temperatures, tinder-dry conditions and lightning strikes.
"As long as this hot, dry weather continues, fire is going to be a problem. And if we get some wind events, fire could be a real problem." The province says its ready to respond if needed this fall, but the union representing seasonal firefighters says the Alberta government is short-staffing its wildfire-fighting force.There could be added pressure on frontline resources in the weeks ahead, said Natalie Hasell, a meteorologist for Environment Canada.
