A se pensar 💭 na grandiosidade. Algum canadense arriscaria seu coro a entrar num incêndio 🔥 na ÁFRICA, para salvar os negros? Esse mundo 🌎 tem muito o que trabalhar para no mínimo TORNAR-SE HUMANO. Belo 🎉exemplo.

Are volunteers able to go help? Or do I need to be a firefighter already and have some sort of credentials?

[@splashafrica]

🇨🇦 actually has a large volunteer firefighting force they actually have a critical shortage of volunteers

[@johnchun370]

I am doing my best but the us government is still torturing me.

[@jakejimstone5029]

And where is our military? I presume they are helping the Ukrainian effort - moving weapons into the Ukraine. Fighting fires is like fighting a raving lunatic coming at you with a force that's hard to stop. Mostly volunteers are fighting these fires with improper equipment. Why is the military asking volunteers to fight this war against raging fires?

[@minimaxmiaandme.4971]

Too bad you have no clue what you are talking about!! BS alert!!!!!!

[@daveg-Vancouver_Island]

🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️ JFC man! Not that bright are you! Do you use a ventilator just for when you forget to breathe? Lol

[@nelisanmn1739]

I don't live in Canada, but even I know that Canadian military has also been deployed to help with the fires🙄

[@jakejimstone5029]

@@nelisanmn1739 I live in Canada and in the middle of fires out West. I am asking they bring in the military we have overseas too. I don't see them around here. Maybe more out East in Ontario and Maritimes.

We have Canadian Firefighters who have lost their jobs for not being Vaccinated.. Any chance that these guys can pick up a few hours fighting forest fires? Fort MacMurray Citizens knows all about fighting forest fires..

[@daveg-Vancouver_Island]

Oh stfu with your stupid anti-vax bs, it’s so fukin childish!! And obviously Fort Mcmurray doesn’t know anything about fighting fires, the whole town pretty much burned to the ground, your whole outlook is flawed!
