While unprecedented in modern history, a Canadian wildfire season of this size is on par with the pre\u002Dindustrial era
of prehistoric fires in what is now California was particularly blunt in saying that no matter how bad the state’s wildfire seasons got, they weren’t coming close to the way it used to be.
When B.C. and the U.S. Northwest were hit by a particularly active wildfire season in 2020, scientists at the U.S. Department of Agriculture ran the numbers and determined that 2020 was actually the first “normal” fire season the region had seen in more than a century. As recently as the 1880s, it wasn’t all that uncommon for summertime train journeys through the Canadian and U.S. West to feature no scenery on account of the smoke.
When the Canadians of 2023 compare their wildfire seasons to the past, their only points of reference are from this bizarre postwar era in which technology was able to artificially shrink wildfire season into a shadow of its former power.
