This is so sad.

I have a cousin in law out there. Last night when they got the evac notice, he and the two dogs (fortunately, my cousin and their son are here visiting) escaped. The gas station behind their house had blown up and temps were rising past 52 degrees. It is quite a chaotic scene.
Looked at the pics posted in the news and just awe struck by the devastation. I can't imagine the feeling that these people have loosing everything but what they could grab. Hope everyone manages to get to a safe spot and insurance and government agencies work with them to rebuild their lives.
Not to downplay the terrible devastation to these people affected, but I wonder if the RCMP will swoop in at some point and raid the unaffected homes that people have been evacuated from? You know, to rid them of those nasty firearms that may be left laying around?Quote:

Friends out there lost everything but the clothes they were wearing and a truck....now let's see how much money and help our own citizens get from Trudope !!!!!
I have a customer whose son is a firefighter on the Alberta Wildfire Crews. Remembering all those that are affected by this fire and all those that are helping out.
I was thinking the same thing about the rcmp. Extended family have left and made it safely to Edmonton so feeling relieved for them, but man what a horrific situation, lets hope there is help for our CANADIAN refugees!Quote:
