So, investigations into the cause of the wildfires in and around Lytton has not been finalized yet, but there's a distinct possibility it was caused by a railcar(s). I was just wAndering, with all this technology we have nowadays, could we not have some system in place where railcars built to hold liquids can supply much needed water to places that need it to fight wildfires? I'm sure someone has thought about this already. Anyway, each town along the corridor can have these cars at the ready on a side track ready to be deployed at a moment's notice. I guess the engines will have to be modified to handle the situation. The story "sparked" my curiosity, but too lazy to look any information up. Actually, need to go galavanting.
