  • Despite a nearly day-long trip from South Africa, approximately 200 firefighters broke out into song and dance as they arrived at Edmonton International Airport on Thursday to help fight the ongoing wildfires burning across Alberta.
    It's a tradition the Working on Fire crews repeat each morning before fighting fires across the world.
    The government-funded organization is focused primarily on firefighting management and have made several trips to the Canadian province in the last decade, including during the harrowing Fort McMurray wildfire crisis in 2016.

      Because they are retired for a reason? Possibly age my guess and training could be outdated also ? You taking anti immigrant way too far. Yes, international students are under housed and we are having a housing crisis. I can see that but bringing firefighters professional. Guess who works on Ontario farms? Jamaican season workers that have temporary contract. How come you are not against that ? Most black African don't like Canada weather.. is too cold and you don't see that many blacks in Canada

    As per our own firefighters, they (the hired help) have zero experience with these types of fires and most have never even seen these types of trees. An army of our own retired firefighters with decades of experience were denied these roles to pay for this, and that is probably why the fire continue to burn.

      South Africa's 0 experience equates to this being the 5th coming to your country and this being the 2nd team deployed this month to assist with your wild fires? Don't you dare disrespect us just because your country is disrespecting your retired firefighters. South Africa is not the one.

    well, appreciate the help, but why is Canada doing this? we're supposed to be rich and sophisticated nation, and ought to have firefighters and equipment already to easily handle these fires. How much of a distraction will it be to get these men up to speed on the particulars in Canada. In fact, isn't fighting forest fires about air vehicles dropping water on the fire? so why did govt spend time on manufacturing a spectacle of getting fire fighters from the other side of the planet? or are we in fact a third world nation now and actually need this help?

    In our toxic world, people are creating many topic and issues with their own likeness to gain attention, popularity and project but not to put attention of crucial issues happening in our society and execute effective control and solutions.
    It is always important to have awareness on crucial matter that destroys people’s lives, DRUG ADDICTION AND HOMELESSNESS.
    I suggest to help others first before helping ourself, not to gain glory, praise, popularity nor to be idolized by creating organizations or foundation, focus on high priority issues like homelessness and drug addiction.
    Why until now drug addiction, homelessness, crime, violence and hate still reigns in our society?
    Because no one dare to execute effective solutions properly and to fight against Evil doings.
    There are many people who live in our world who aren’t acting like a human, immigrants are leaving, even aliens are leaving and only politicians, Zombies, drug addicts, violence, crime, hate, cruelty, war and homeless reigns.
    Where are the law and orders? Were is the morality? Where is the Democracy? Where is the power of the goodness and where is your faith in our Lord God?
