TL;DR Summary

Global firefighters are arriving in Quebec to help put out over 130 forest fires currently burning in the region, draining local firefighting resources. Quebec's local firefighting capabilities would only be able to handle around 25 to 35 large forest fires at any given time without the extra hands. The province has trained 300 additional people in Quebec City over the last week so they can be deployed immediately. Federal officials in Canada have warned that this may be the country's worst wildfire season on record, with nearly four million hectares of land burned so far.
