Hey George, or any other Canadian on this forum: Is it true that in Canada, if you are traveling through an area where a forest fire is occurring and threatening human life and property, the government can "draft" you into service to help fight the fire?? I was told this a long time ago by some folks up in Thunder Bay. They said, any male between 18-49 can be asked to help if needed. Can they ask anybody? regardless if you are Canadian, or not..? Or was I mislead??

Anyway... those are some outlandish photo's, great work!

Ha, interesting... I've heard that they also do that in the UP of Michigan, with some less than credible folks saying they have been "drafted" in the past.
