.NWT Fire plans for early wildfire season start. Wilfrid Laurier University's Dr. Jennifer Baltzer said overwintering fires can mean earlier start to season, which could put more strain on firefighting resources.

Great explainer of the challenges and hard decisions🔥 managers face in wildfire seasons like 2023 in 🇨🇦. These 'mega' fire years are increasing with climate warming, threatening communities and straining economies. Important insights from Mike Flannigan GNWT ENR / MERN and more.

NWT wildfire staff and equipment will be readied earlier than usual this year because a significant number of fires have continued to burn through the winter.
