Canada's Record Wildfire Season. A Chat With Doug Cote. Doug is a former Yukon Smoke Jumper and current Wildfire Risk Management Specialist for Canada.
On Today’s Show, https://thehotshotwakeup.substack.com/
I have on Doug Cote to discuss the record-breaking wildfire season in Canada. Doug has a long and extensive wildfire career, including smoke jumping in the Yukon, and now his career is focused on prescribed fire and aerial ignition work in the Northern Boreal forests and working with Indigenous communities to bolster burn programs.
We discuss the wild year that Canada had and what that looked like from the ground. We cover the tactics used up North and the reality of leaving fires over a million acres unstaffed or with limited staffing. We cover the ever-growing cross-border resource sharing that took place with Hotshot crews and teams, and like myself, Doug sees this as an increasing trend.
We also talk about the unprecedented line-of-duty deaths that took place this year in Canada and how they can learn and understand why these took place.
A fascinating conversation.
