As wildfire season begins, the province is adding more firefighting positions and offering payment incentives.
What can I but enumerate old themes,
First that sea-rider Oisin led by the nose
Through three enchanted islands, allegorical dreams,
Vain gaiety, vain battle, vain repose,
Themes of the embittered heart, or so it seems.
-- "The Circus Animals’ Desertion" by William Butler Yeats

I got my start with the MNRF, did it for 11 years. It was a great job when fires were burning… not so much when it rained.
During my stint, most of the guys were forestry or fish and wildlife students and there was a waiting list to get hired. Now they will take anyone who can pass the fit test. Not sure why they can’t fill the jobs now.
A true sportsman counts his achievements in proportion to the effort involved and the fairness of the sport. - S. Pope
