A new study reveals that climate change is eroding the traditional nighttime lulls that help firefighters contain wildfires, especially in Western Canada. Over the past 50 years, fire-friendly hours have surged by 200 to 250 hours per season, cutting into cooler, calmer nights that once slowed fire spread. This shift means wildfires can burn more intensely around the clock, complicating firefighting efforts. Experts warn that without innovative fire management strategies, extreme fire seasons like 2023 could become the norm.
