Professor says wildfires have doubled in size across Canada since 1970s, blames climate change
Mike Flannigan says people across Saskatchewan shouldn’t get complacent about wildfires after this week’s rain.
A professor of wildland fire at the University of Alberta, Flannigan said the situation is still potentially dangerous.
“Some rain helps, yes. More rain helps a lot,” he said. “But until things really green up, things dry out within hours, if not days.”
