I’ve been seeing articles that refer to the fire situations in Yellowknife and Kelowna specifically as ‘unprecedented’, and when I look over the details under a headline with that word all I can think is
ALT
there was precedent

there was precedent

there is always precedent.
Five years after Slave Lake burned, so did Fort Mac. And just because the fire was bigger, they called it unprecedented. They had five years to learn, and they made all the same mistakes.
'Do you believe Canada is doing enough to support wildfire victims?’ a poll in one of the articles asks me, and I vote immediately NO. At this point I don’t even know what would be 'enough’, but clearly we’re not there yet. Half of all people who’ve voted in this poll agree with me. We are not doing enough.

My heart goes out to all the people who’ve lost their homes and all the people who are about to. You are not alone in what you’re feeling.

CBC
A wildfire burning northwest of Yellowknife is now about 20 kilometres from the city, officials said on Tuesday morning. That means it’s moved about 10 kilometres closer to the capital since a day earlier.
“The fire is not expected to reach Yellowknife in the coming days, however, risk to the city and Ndilǫ has risen since yesterday,” reads an update from N.W.T. Fire at 11 a.m. Tuesday.
Firefighters were also expecting “significant fire behaviour” on Tuesday, with winds out of the north and northwest expected to push the fire further south and east. Smoke and falling ash was likely in Yellowknife, Ndilǫ and Dettah on Tuesday, the update reads.
Weather conditions could become more favourable on Wednesday, officials say. There’s a chance of showers forecast then, and more showers expected on Thursday. Winds are also expected to shift on Thursday, “which should slow progression towards Yellowknife.”
The Behchokǫ̀-Yellowknife fire was 136,109 hectares as of Tuesday morning. After the fire breached control lines to the southwest toward Boundary Creek, N.W.T. Fire said Monday morning the breach was “significant” and their top priority was to contain it. […]
