Man oh man, looks like an up hill battle all the way Arff, work safe to all at front lines. That's wayyyyy over my abilities.

What we see on the news ain't nothing like what you folks see & feel in your harts and minds, you make all of us proud doing what you do. Keep up the good work.

In less then 24 hours, the local radio station(s) and Saskatchewan have raised over $650,000 to help Fort Mac, and the government is going to match it.

over shot it a bit, turned out to be $641,000



take a read. People from Saskatchewan are a lot like people from Alberta, just east instead of west.

The people of Saskatchewan are awesome.....

Alberta is lucky to have a great neighbor like you.......THANK YOU!!

The fire even has the attention of the US. Seen a blurb about it on the morning express with Robin Meade on HLN.
Hopefully it drums up some US support.

Red Cross announced public donations have now reached 30 million. Despite what another poster said they advised that these funds will be funnelled 100% to help families displaced by the fires and not for other disasters.

M/while, watched this commentary by Rex M. Nicely put!

Please note: Effective immediately there is a province wide ban on ohv use in all Alberta parks & public lands.

Fines can be anywhere from $1000 to $10,000 dollars

Please respect this ban.

Where did you find this info? Just looking to stay updated for when the ban is removed or if they do another ban this summer. I have the wildfire app and the emergency alert app on my phone but is there another one I should have?
