Some things will always baffle me - like taking a multi-mission capable helicopter program and throwing it in the trash can. This short sighted decision was made after 3 back, to back, to back insane fire seasons...Today on the show - We have Adam Clyne, a spotter from the Alberta Rappellers on the show to share how we can save this valuable program...Alberta's wildfire rappel program has been axed by the provincial government in order to cut cost, yet the 23 million dollar price tag of the savings doesn't make any sense compared to the potential of saving hundreds of millions of dollars by stopping small fires before they go big...The "RAP" program has been in place for 36 years, and employs 63 firefighters every fire season, not including the support staff or pilots for these programs. The overall objective for the "RAP" crews is to insert firefighters into the fire via helicopter rappel and aggressively attack small fires soon after detection to keep the fires from growing into large, catastrophic fires... In addition to this, they provide: Fireline emergency medical services, search and rescue operations, and hazardous fuels reduction across the entire province of Alberta...If you want to support the Alberta RAP program, check out these sites:Change.org:https://www.change.org/p/the-government-of-alberta-urge-the-albertan-government-to-roll-back-cuts-to-wildfire-fundingFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/groups/2554289287998862/about/Also feel free to hit up Adam Clyne on Instagram..Thanks for listening, everyone...
