They need cool temperatures and long steady rain so it can saturate the ground. Heavy rain in the peat and muskeg just runs away or sits on the ground, doesn't really penetrate. That's a huge part of the problem, the peat will smolder deep for months and can eventually rekindle down the road.
WE have had 4 inches so far and it is still raining. The fields have puddles, haven't seen that in awhile.
Good luck with the fires, this amount of rain would put it out in no time.
