Fort McMurray burning

[arff]

After seeing street after street of burnt down houses.

I think they need the money for more than just essentials. Long term as reality kicks in counciling maybe required and other medical issues.

It might take a week or 2 before reality really kicks in.

No one thinks they will need emotional support Etc.

This will be a long term recovery like years.

I totally agree with this statement

Friends of mine lost everything except for the truck that they got out of town in. Their lives and the lives of so many people will take years to recover from. I could not imagine when they start to be allowed back in what they will face. Even the insurance companies say it will take 4-6 months for each claim. Winter is coming and lots of people have no home to go to.

Winter is coming?!? Could we at least have the rest of our spring, summer, and fall first?

For how long it takes to build a house they should be concerned about winter coming. Spring/summer/ screw fall. Skip that go straight into winter.

looks like there is going to be use for all those atco shacks the oilfield was offloading.

I think as unsettling as it may sound with the amount of homes that went poof here some temporary living needs to be established camp style.

Not sure who owns the big camp racked next to the river outside Drayton but it would hold quite a few people. It wouldn't be home but it would be a place out of the cold.

Spent the weekend with my kids after they left Ft Mac and finally made it to the Ranch. A number of beers and bottles of hard stuff later aside from the chaos and uncertainty of it all things are good. The house is a whole lot busier and the dog hair is a mile high now and I don't give a rats a$$.

 

[arff]

We are sending 2 more fire crews up. One on Saturday and one on Monday.

Lots of small fires and clean up

 

[j335]

10.5% of structures were damaged in Ft Mac, so simple math says about 9000 people without a house that will need long term housing. I don't think this will be difficult to organize, I can also see some of those people offered a fly in/out temporarily.

The hardest part will be finding city workers to get approval on all these new homes. It takes a long time to have plans drafted to fit the specific land size, plot plans made and finally city approval for the homes, not to mention inspections. And on top of that not a lot of contractors have Alberta new home warranty. Getting concrete will be a huge bottleneck. After they get the homes started they will fly up as there is so many people looking for work now.
I doubt anything will be ready to start until late fall. If you thought homes in Fort Mac where expensive and poorly built before.....

I know if my house burnt down, Id take matters into my own hands rather than stay in some sort of refugee camp, but hey that's just me.

Maybe look into moving to a city that's not burnt down ext

All this Red Cross bull**** is disturbing. Checked their annual statement online. Last year they raked in 300 million and payed out 31 in wages and general. CEO gets over 300 g's per year. Slave Lake fire victims getting 2% of the donations made to Red Cross. The corruption these days is just staggering. Arrgggg

Wife gave $200 to Red Cross before consulting me... I would have rather put $200 more worth of diapers and dog food in Buckies trailer to be honest with ya

If we didn't pay them they would go elsewhere. Then there would be no one to run the show. It's sad but true.
