Canada orders railways to take new wildfire prevention measures

The Lytton blaze erupted after the town broke Canada’s more than 80-year-old heat record with a 49.6-degree Celsius temperature. There are now 297 wildfires burning in British Columbia, an increase of 97 in two days, according to official data.

Alghabra says the CN and CP railways must ensure a 60-minute response time to any fires detected along rail lines running through Lytton, B.C., with the goal of extinguishing or controlling the blaze and asking the local fire service for help if necessary.Article content

Mow the damn grass then spray! Along all tracks. Bam. Solved it. Oh wait..! Been done except in hard to reach places!

You mean on top of the already existing heat slows? Do they not realize the railroads already reduce speed when it’s hot to protect the integrity of the track Wtf is this the department of redundancy department?

Any idea the fire risk of transportation oil on a train vs pipeline ?

What will be the cost of that to railroads, and thus to consumers?

Great! Burden the economy because of unproven facts. Does anyone in the Federal Govt think? Are they capable of critical thought? Oris it just woke sjw ideology which governs everything the liberal_party gov't does? cdnpoli

All this in order to further a liberal narrative.

Cracking down on leftist arsonists would do better than literal Tanzania-Zambia tier minimally operational railways.

But remember, climate change has no externalities.
