As a construction and contracting worker who mostly works outdoors, it’s important that you are aware of changing weather and extreme weather events like wildfires. Each year, wildfires destroy thousands of acres of land and cause significant damage to properties.
On average, Canada has about 8,000 wildfires a year, burning 2.5 million hectares, according to the Canadian Red Cross. Most occur between April and September, and they can occur almost anywhere in the country — particularly in Canada’s forests and grasslands.
