Eric Melillo says better coordination could help fight wildfires across the country.
A Northwestern Ontario MP is calling for enhanced federal coordination for responding to wildfires across the country.
“But it's something that we should be prepared for and one of my greatest concerns is right now it doesn't seem like there's the type of coordination that we should see,” he said in an interview on Monday. “I'm not a firefighter, but obviously there are a number of weather and compounding factors that go into [a fire response approach].”
“There are going to be a certain level of more extreme weather events, whether or not any specific fire is because of climate change or because of arson or because of other factors,” he said. “I couldn't tell you for every single one off the top of my head and I don't think the prime minister could either.”
During question period in the House of Commons last week, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said, “these forest fires are worse than the ones in previous years, but they are not the worst we will ever see. In the years to come, the situation will only deteriorate.”
