Ever wonder where some of these wildfires start?

Spoiler alert: it’s not the so-called „climate crisis” narrative pushed by far-left Democrats to justify a heist of the US Treasury through climate policies like the Inflation Reduction Act (Green New Deal). In some cases, it’s arson—sometimes even eco-terrorism.

Shocking news just broke that multiple firefighters and officers were shot in an ambush at the Canfield Mountain Natural Area in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho.

According to North Idoha News, at 1:50 pm local time, multiple firefighters and law enforcement officers were shot in what has been described as a „planned ambush” while responding to a wildfire on Canfield Mountain, believed to have been intentionally set to lure first responders.

„At least one Life Flight helicopter remains on standby, while all others have been released,” the local media outlet reported on Facebook, adding, „Multiple firefighters were shot, and at least one has been transported with life-threatening injuries, though officials confirm the individual was conscious and alert during transport.”
