A controlled burn involving Canada’s first-ever “Women-in-Fire Training Exchange” (WTREX) led to the evacuation of residents, tourists, and livestock as the fire turned into an “out of control” blaze, Rebel News reports.
The prescribed burn occurred in Banff National Park in Alberta, Canada’s oldest national park.
Parks Canada blamed the spread on unexpected winds.
“On the afternoon of May 3, 2023, Parks Canada carried out a prescribed fire in Compound Meadows, in Banff National Park,” a Twitter post from the parks service said. “Around 1600, due to an unexpected shift in wind direction and speed, the fire escaped the predetermined boundary.”
The fire spread across the street and threatened to damage a cemetery, an event tent, and a resort. A temporary evacuation order for residents, tourists, and livestock was issued. The order was rescinded later that same day, and the fire is now considered to be under control. Five helicopters were reportedly needed to contain the blaze.
The burn was part of a 12-day program designed “to engage participants of all different genders, ethnic, and racial backgrounds to explore the growing role of women in fire management.”
“[Did you know] women are still underrepresented in the firefighting community?” a Twitter post from Parks Canada said in March. “Diversity is strength which is why #WTREXCanada empowers more women to become leaders in fire management!”
And it doesn’t matter how much this, and a host of other moronic ‘diversity’ situations prove that diversity is ‘not’, in fact, a strength: the people in charge simply don’t care. It’s about image and the high ESG score it generates, and that’s it.
If adding a few men to an all-female conference would have changed things, then indeed diversity is a strength. It’s only a weakness if you swing the pendulum too far and instead of looking for the best from a diverse pool of candidates, you prioritize diversity OVER quality.
Genius. I agree wholeheartedly!!
That’s is just plan old stupid. Women think they can act and do stuff like a man can but they can’t. What do you think the world would be like if women run the industries?
Girls, instead of wasting time on something you can’t win, fight for another major topic that is worth fighting for.
I agree
So a controlled burn overseen by male firefighters never got out of control? Give me a break. This incident had nothing to do with gender and everything to do with a wind speed and direction change.
I can there is a possibility that the wind created a situation where an all-male crew would also have failed. Your use of the phrase “nothing to do with gender” indicates that you are ignoring the fact that men and women are different. They each have different strengths and weaknesses. And firefighting is one area where the men have the advantage. So, even if the winds were a factor, the advantages that men have will certainly give them a greater chance of success. The sex of the crew would push the line between success and failure towards success.
I’ve seen the same thing regarding women as soldiers. For the sake of argument, I’ll ignore any moral issues on this. Regarding physical abilities, when you have a group of women who are given the same military assignment as a group of men, the women are both slower and more prone to injuring themselves. Then, the injured often take other women from the task, making completion even slower. It is insane to ignore this, but I think their rebellion against God, who invented gender, is an underlying motivation.
If the time to complete a physically demanding task matters, whether it is firefighting or military, you don’t want women doing it.
A control burn is required to have a plan. Part of that plan is: what if something unexpected happens like wind speed and direction change. This is incompetence. It’s fair to assume they did a control burn near a high fuels area — since it was all women you can also assume they excluded some very competent men — or the part of the fire fighting community with the most experience at forest land firefighting. This is idiocy perfected.
The comments prove once again that women should not have any relationships with men.
Didn’t earn it
