As the temperatures slowly drop in one part of the world and soar in another, there becomes increasingly less downtime for firefighters. The statistics don’t lie. Wildfires are becoming increasingly widespread and relentless. Additionally, the population is growing, and in turn, the boundaries of cities in metro areas are moving further and further out. We are seeing residential areas encroaching on country that wants to burn. These factors are adding increasing pressure on those who operate in harm’s way — and because of this, there’s more expectation on fire agencies to offer a long-term service to better keep people, communities and housing, safe.
