After a gruelling eight months battling wildfires in British Columbia, Sonja Leverkus was looking forward to a break.
But with many fires still smouldering, she worries it won’t be long until she’s fighting flames again.
“It still feels like we haven’t had enough time to get recovered, let alone get ready, because here we go again,” said Leverkus, a wildland firefighter crew leader who lives in Fort Nelson, B.C.
Goodbye Fire Season, hello Fire World.
