So they cut the rappel program and closed a few towers. Has no bearing on the fire bans. Quit grasping at straws!

In previous years there have been fire bans and yet we had the rappel program and those 20 towers. Go figure

“This is a decision that has been made as part of our COVID-19 pandemic response, not necessarily because of a high wildfire hazard. Taking action in advance to reduce the number of human-caused wildfires will allow Alberta Wildfire to make the best possible use of resources when the availability of firefighters could be reduced because of the pandemic.” Straight from the Alberta Wildfire app.
