Wildfires rage through Canadian forests burning 2.5 million hectares each year. The up side is that fire renews the forest and helps it maintain its health and biodiversity. In this case, we would send in what we call 'Air Tankers', the large planes that drop water and chemicals to put out the fires. A much more effective way of fighting these out of control fires.

I have a question, The man stated that if there are people starting these fires, they must stop immediately. In America, Arson is a Felony. There isn't a law in Ireland concerning Arson?
