Original Note:
There is no evidence that the 2023 Canadian wildfires were started by devices dropped from drones. This conspiracy theory likely started from a tweet from @realstewpeters showing a helicopter carrying a helitorch - used for backfires, burnouts, or prescribed burns. https://twitter.com/realstewpeters/status/1665906775097331715 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2023_Canadian_wildfires
