#Strömstrad #Sweden #Sverige #firefighter playing "the floor is lava, extra super advanced mode" I couldn't do this. Hanging by one arm for that long? I don't know if this is training. It could be #firefighters bored and giving each other crazy challenges, I'm not sure

“I’ve spent over 50 years fighting fires, and I’ve watched this threat change beyond recognition,” said former Commissioner of Fire & Rescue NSW Greg Mullins. “The fire seasons start earlier, burn hotter and run longer, because climate pollution from coal, oil and gas is heating the planet.” Australia’s 2019-20 Black Summer disaster was one of the most catastrophic fire seasons in its history, killing 33 people directly, with an additional 417 deaths attributed to smoke inhalation. Mr Mullins said that “in the six years since, we’ve added more pollution to the problem”. “Governments that keep approving new coal, oil and gas projects are raising the risk of even worse fire disasters,” he said. https://thepoint.com.au/new/260708-no-one-is-left-to-come-to-anyones-aid-former-emergency-chiefs-warn-of-a-new-era-of-bushfire-risk #wildfires #Australia #climateRisks #climateChange #firefighting #firefighters #fires #climatePolicy #AusPol

… “Forest fires burn twice as much forest today as they did 20 years ago.” “There are ways to sustainably manage a forest, like through thinning and prescribed burns, fire breaks, those sorts of things that don’t involve clear-cutting an entire forest, but leave the tree standing, leave the healthy ecosystem there, but are still kind of managing the fuel load,” she says.

What you need to know about B.C. wildfires on Aug. 11 About 100 more Mexican firefighters are set to join B.C.'s wildfire fight, with more than 21,000 people under evacuation order across the province.

The EU's adaptation framework offers an illusion of preparation. Laying out plans for a 3°C drift average does not make it survivable. But it makes it seem so. 🧵 Europe is not even preparing for what happened recently! In the pine plantations west of Bordeaux, firefighters met the first pyrocumulonimbus France has ever seen. There was the largest firefighting mobilisation in EU history, and the destruction broke records anyway: https://civil-protection-humanitarian-aid.ec.europa.eu/news-stories/news/eu-deploys-largest-ever-wildfire-response-2026-summer-2026-06-02_en #climatePolicy #adaptation #megafires #wildfires #plantations #forestry #climateDrift #climateChange #firefighting #firefighters #France #EUPol #policy

🧵 I can’t cry as easily as I used to in former times. Watching our news footage of the fires in the south-west, the tears just streamed down my face. The persistence of the #firefighters and #rescue workers, often followed by trauma that will last a lifetime. How they are left in the lurch by a government that has cut back on everything for years and failed to act. Just like during the pandemic. We haven’t learnt anything from the fact that, at some point, the rescuers themselves need to be
