My theory is since Covid and with the huge increase in Canadian immigration numbers we are now cursed with a whole raft of unaware careless campers and people in the back country on ATV's and drinking and carrying on. Before it was trains creating sparks and lightening as the main culprits. People that grew up camping, went thru Scouts etc. had more respect for their surroundings.
But you still need dry conditions for fires and parts of the west still have that. The lightening storms will come in due time, hope there is rain in the bush before that.

Did you catch the Northern Lights display Friday night on the East Coast? It was something else here! Visible to the eye reds and purples-very rare in my experience. I was with my daughter, the photographer, and she was taking pictures. With the digital tech they can pick up and show all the colours very dramatically. I never realized that's how all these social media pictures in the last decade are captured now. JW the dinosaur.
Usually my viewing has been outside at night , -30 temps, frosty breath. Friday night I was out viewing in shorts on a country road with water filled ditches and a cacophony of frogs mating. I'm glad the Oilers game went late and I was still up at that time of night.
