Not everyone lives IN THE CITY so that means they were at work and have to rush home to get their stuff and then get out. 2 ways is necessary for that

Much of the time it is Lightning in a remote area. Most of the time it fizzles out to a nothing burger.(Because the tree was green and the undergrowth green) . But, there are times when conditions are right like it starting in a valley of a park that is left to nature to grow as it would normally and the wind is lightly blowing up the valley of dried out pines and bramble and this is a perfect starter. Usually fires like this are not in inhabited areas. so it burns for awhile until the rains come and put it out. Fires are so big a few piddly waterbombers will not put it out. They also need airports to land their plane and refuel. All of a sudden the air traffic controllers are busy...between domestic flights, private flights, & water bombers. Everyone is going to experience a forest fire in their lives someday if trees grow around them. I have been near enough to one to be ousted out of my house(10 years ago)Will not expect that section of forest to go up again in my lifetime(another 25 years) . I was up in the Yukon and the trees are kind of spindly. Not a lot of rain. So Yellowknife, NWT, Canada has a town (use Google Earth) & Hay River,NWT, Canada is another settlement.

Yeah, that will be something the government of Canada will be looking into later on, cuz that is not the "Canadian way"

It is on topic and off continent. In Australia during the height of Covid 19(I am not certain the year) but the ENTIRE Continent of Australia was on fire. It has pine trees and Eucalyptus trees and various other brush that grows mainly where the rain falls. A Koala is born in a tree and never leaves the tree for its entire life. "These feet aren't made for walking" so if its tree caught on fire, the poor little koala burns with it" There is no flight or fight in its repertoire of what to do. The other creatures can get out of the way but not the Koala. . In Canada, all the animals can move out of the way to a new patch of ground...that is not a problem for them. Forest fires is not new to them genetically. The farm animals will have to be hauled off to another field and simple barn built. They get used to their new surroundings, just like you moving into a new house in a new town. Your habits don't change, just the view has changed. Feet don't get burned as this fire has been burning for a month, just not close to a town. So, animals are already gone...as they can smell smoke way before we can and they split.
