Wildland firefighters call for change on frontlines of forest fire fight as season ramps up

May 4, 2024
Riley Moskaluk, 29, a veteran wildland firefighter, says fire in a dry forest can turn on you in mere seconds, with just one tree’s flames suddenly leaping from treetop to treetop, creating a blazing wall of heat.While facing the Chuckegg Creek fire in May, 2019, just outside the evacuated High Level, Alta., he suddenly saw a single tree consumed by flames and started to run. Minutes later, behind him, a wide swath of woods had turned into a 25-metre high inferno.
