I this might be something greater than miss management. Much of the fires are grasslands, combined with extended drought and high winds, I dont know what can be done other than cutting a fire gap. Early pioneer stories of prairie fires that couldnt be out run is what is happening. The low populations in central Canada resemble the population densities of Nevada, Montana and Wyoming. They may not have enough personnel considering the total population of Canada when you get as far north as Calgary.
