Military Joins Fight Against Wildfires

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, reports that Canada has deployed its military and Coast Guard to battle wildfires spreading from Vancouver to Newfoundland, as announced by Emergency Minister Eleanor Ozanski. He warns that the United States could face a similar situation, especially as cuts to the federal firefighting force leave the nation short-handed. With state and local agencies unable to fully manage massive blazes, the U.S. may have to consider using its military to combat wildfires.
