Some U.S. lawmakers on Thursday threatened to sanction Canada - or even possibly annex it entirely - as they raged about wildfire smoke blanketing many parts of Canada and swaths of the United States.

That's not bad for the amount of lightning we've had here in Alberta. Assuming the same frontal passages came through.
It's when you're hitting those numbers for a district or region things get more active. I'd just call that busy Initial Attack day...
But then you get a fire inside/beside a community and things get very real very fast.
