Wildfires: Inside Canada’s struggles to recruit firefighters

Business Matters - A podcast by BBC World Service

Categories:

Canada has lost 30,000 firefighters since 2016. We talk to the Canadian Association of Fire Chiefs about their call for more efforts to boost recruitment amid the country's worst wildfire season on record. And as home and hybrid working extend well beyond the pandemic, we look into the footprint they are leaving in the design of the office space. Will Bain discusses these and more business stories with two guests on opposite sides of the world: Delhi-based business journalist Sushma Ramachandran and technology journalist Takara Small in Toronto.
