Equipment could be moved to each province with the highest fire threat as need is recognized.

You have no concept of fire fighting. Already coordination between provinces to assist each other during major fire campaigns/hazards.
Insult to the fine firefighters out there to say they lean on their shovels. Grab your boots and gloves and go work a fireline with them.
Water bombers, air tankers, cats etc can only do so much. No matter how many you have, if Mother Nature is going to burn, she burns.
Need people to operate said equipment. Do not see many people lining up to do so.
