What a summer that was — the hottest ever recorded globally and the worst for wildfires in Canadian history.

Dry conditions and warmer-than-usual temperatures helped fuel a long and unrelenting wildfire season that, to date, has burned more than 17,500,000 hectares, a 647 per cent increase over the 10-year average.
