Both the Park Fire and the Jasper Fire have spawned 'pyrocumulonimbus' clouds, a phenomenon now more common due to climate change, fueling lightning and further fires.
In recent years, a higher number of pyrocumulonimbus clouds have been reported, signaling an alarming trend that is expected to continue without significant changes.
"We can expect more of these in the future unless we change our ways," warns Mike Flannigan, emphasizing the urgent need for action to prevent escalating fire behavior.
"We've seen a lot of fires behave like these ones in recent years, which I don't think is reassuring at all," highlights Daniel Swain, indicating a worrying trend in the frequency of destructive wildfires.
