Just checked the bcwildfire website and as of 9pm last night they had updated the info on the binta lake fire and are saying that it has now grown to cover 35,000 hectares. They are classifying this as a RANK 5/6 fire, so they cant have crew's in working on alot of the fire due the extreme fire behavior and danger to the guys.

Holy Smoke!!!!!



I wonder how many sleds it would take to make a smoke cloud that thick

not sure about sleds but i know it would only take 1 of boggers qauds.

sorry had tosay it. scary stuff hope the area gets some very much needed rain soon.

 

[magnet]

or lots of snow it would work to and you need like 3 times as much to make the same in rain.:d

 

[PEAK SEEKER]

I think the smoke that's leaving edmonton is filling in the quapelle valley. It's getting thicker and thicker as the day goes on

 

[FossY]

The binta fire they say is now at a rank3 fire activity which is good cause it should be easier to hopefully get abit of a handle on it maybe. I notice that it isn't quite as smokey here in mcbride this afternoon. I can actually kinda makeout the ridge lines of the mtn's that are right here.
