This week on APTN News InFocus, we’re looking ahead to wildfire season and asking if our communities are any better prepared than in years past.

Wildfires are already burning. Forests are going up in flames. People are being forced from their homes.

Guest host Leanne Sanders sits down with Arnold Lazare, interim executive director of the Indigenous Fire Safety Council. He joins us from Kahnawake to talk about what’s working and what isn’t.

We also hear from Michelle Vandevord, director of Saskatchewan First Nation Emergency Management. She says most communities are ready, but weather remains the wildcard.
