My dad said the quebec fire was started by someone tweeting to collect insurance on burning a a car or piece of farm equipment and the blaze got out of control, you heard anything like that?

Only from climate change denying conspiracy nutbags.

Misinformation

That story has been featured in a lot of sources to back claims like yours.

Press Progress did a feature on it recently.

Didn't you notice the date of the article you're citing?

It's from 2021 ..... two years ago and has nothing to do with the current forest fire season
