WASHINGTON — The U.S. Department of Defense has deployed a new high\u002Dtech fire detection system to help Canada battle one of its worst wildfire seasons on…
“DOD personnel will analyze and share real-time data derived from U.S. satellites and sensors and convey it via a co-operative agreement between the U.S. National Interagency Fire Center and the Canadian Interagency Forest Fire Centre,” National Security Council spokesman Adam Hodge said in a release.
Those fires became impossible to ignore south of the border last week as heavy smoke drifted into some of the most populated cities along the U.S. east coast, including New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore. “We’re proud of our personnel for continuing to step up and make themselves available for assignment in Canada,” said Dave Haston, a spokesman for the National Multi-Agency Co-ordinating Group.
The subtext there is clear: the U.S. has its own wildfire season to worry about, and if it ramps up to the same level as in Canada, it will have its hands full and be unable to provide much additional help beyond its borders.
