There were fires weekly as a kid. Usually just brush fires but they were taken very seriously in a mostly wooded lightly populated area. Now that area is a Twin Cities suburb.
Pop never mentioned volcanoes so I took a chance. About 20 miles from me is a ridge with a Abbey on it where everyone went to watch Mt. St. Helens go off.

Fires are good things for the most part. The old growth trees weathered several to reach full height but today our forests are generally just big thickets of fuel.
Is there an area of Canada that's obvious precambrian shield or does it stretch to both coasts? Southern Ontario looks like hell for farmers.
