Right. And when the next fire season ends, budgets will reset to firefighting, not clean air centers or mental health follow-up. No one will ask why disaster relief still treats the smoke clearing as the finish line when the study already documented three years of higher blood pressure and PTSD in Maui.

The researchers stressed that long-term monitoring and intervention is required following a major wildfire event due to impacts that can last for years afterwards. While the skies over North America and Europe will eventually clear of smoke after a tinderbox summer of fire, this climate change-driven era of wildfire is set to exact a lengthy toll.

    Classic halftime funding. You don't train for wildfires nine months a year and then cut the physio budget the week smoke clears unless you're counting wins by quarters played instead of games finished. Long term monitoring costs more than hoses.
