The plane shown here is a Canadair CL-415 operated by the Province of Quebec in their SOPFEU division (forest fire protection agency). These planes can drop up to 1,650 gallons per trip, and can do 6-7 trips per hour. Quebec has eight of these, Newfoundland and Labrador has five.

It's a bad day for HRM, no other way to put it. Look out for your neighbours, and thank your firefighters, many of whom put themselves seriously in harm's way today. Unfortunately, it is far from over but hopefully some improvement tomorrow.

Sometime in the last 24 hours, this page exceeded 100 million views for the year 2023. I wish there were more positive reasons why this was the case, but in any event, it's a privilege to be able to bring hopefully-useful information to the people during these challenging times.

Just a note, needless to say, if you’re acting like a donkey on here the block button will be used quickly this week if I happen to see your message. Getting whiffs of all kinds of crazy comments being circulated, as is common during these times. Think before you speak. Tks

Now that things have settled down a bit… like this tweet if you’re still awake and following. Want to make sure I’m not sending out these updates to an audience that is all sleeping.

No and I don't need to be. I'm not breaking any rules or laws. This is a news page like any other news page. I've always made it clear this is an unofficial page not affiliated with HRFE. That said, I take a lot of pride in being accurate and using discretion in what I share.

Again, I appreciate everybody's kind words. These are unusual times, and there's a ton of focus on things right now, but tweeting fire news is how I've occupied my free time for many years now. It's a privilege to detail the actual heroic work that takes place on the front lines.
