Today started ok I sounds like my cousins place survived the fire it burnt complety around her place but never crossed the field. But now the city of Fort StJohn BC might be in its path.
As for Fort Mac it's a nightmare that's going to have major impacts on oil out put and the price of fuel that's already going up. I'm have no doubt the good O'l USA has been giving us there support there's Mexican fire fighters I'm not sure about the Russians but they formally offered there assistance. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-36224767. ![]()

My friend at syncrude got evacuated today after assisting shutting in operations. The plants have all either shut in completely or at extreme reduced rates a change in wind direction can make it impossible to flee at all. Most of the people the run or maintain them have been evacuated with there family's. The other issue is fuel food etc this is a remote city the fire is just to big to get much through. With no real rain in site and lots of wind the smoke is getting to thick in the southern plants to safely see and breath. 1,000,000 + barrels of oil per day not being produced.

Things are slowly getting a little better up here the main fire is further east of the city still 230,000 hectares but going away. Clean up crews are cleaning up the burnt sections of the city and getting the utilities straightend out and turned on. Some of my friends and connections have flown back up to Restart or ramp up a few of the plants to full production. Like all fires weird things happen the place I lived in for two years in heart of the hardest hit area is standing alone untouched . Now it looks like a big white F@&k YOU fire among absolut ruins. Another place I lived in is gone as you can see it in the photo attached (yep that's it second from the right). Great story's everywhere of the effort to help people in need and just keeping them occupied. http://www.nationalpost.com/m/wp/blo...pay-for-things
Proud of my country province and town for what everyone has done Scook I was wrong or government turned down all the international aid that was offered. I'm guessing because the fire hit the city so quickly and passed through we had enough to manage.

This is not ending or getting better in anyway. Blacksands camp went up this morning probably 3000-4500 camp rooms gone. In the link above in the second picture down you see it going up there is a black truck sitting in the parking lot. It belongs to a good friend of mine he stole a Suncor on site truck and left site yesterday afternoon so they could evacuate safely. ![]() ![]() Most of northren Alberta and Canada is burning in one area or another but we finally have some rain in sight.
