I have been back up here working since May 7, finally got (ligitement)access to my house today, surprisingly it was not that bad. Our house is on the south end of the city and probly only a couple hundred yards from our fence to the fire. Luckily that fire was mostly grass and younger trees. The fridge definitely has the worst odour as we had no power to that subdivision from May 3-15. I took us about 3 minutes to roll it onto the deck and tape it shut. Lol Unfortunately some of our staff did not fair as well so I will have some roommates for a bit. Our stores/shops unfortunately are not as airtight as a house is and defiantly have bad smoke odur in the shop areas.

We own the 2 Fountain Tires, so more than likely you have seen our truck staged at Mac Island and Fire Hall 5(I hang out at hall 5, night shift). Thanks to guys like arff and others helping getting our city safe and back on its feet. I have met firefighters,RCMP from all over western Canada. Atco gas & power techs from central and northern Alberta. Crappy living,eating,sleeping and work conditions and no ones complains. After 24 days spirits are still very high.

Sure that would be great, I'm headed out Monday to bring back 7 new fridges and 3 deep freezes. Pm me to see. If I'm around, might save you a trip. Again thanks for helping.

Been bear guiding 60k south of the city for past 3 weeks, hats off to those fighting these fires. There was days we thought we were going to have to move out but fortunately not the case. Smoke was really not concerning most days with the wind direction, even with the plumes of fires in the distance. The rain the last couple of days will help somewhat tame this beast, however lightening storm hopefully didn't spark any others.

So arff, your thoughts on the aid from Africa. A lot of people in the social media are being pretty opinionated let say. Some to the point of embarassing. I figure the more help the better. But what do I know I'm just a dumb construction guy with a hate on for most politics at th moment.

The more help the better.

It's exhausting work in the bush.

Also exhausting within the City and still lots to do.

Saw a bear yesterday. They have been a problem.

So we're accepting help from the mexicans, and from the south africans..... Why did we not accept help from russia and their offer of the big water bombers????
