how you dealing with the smoke/bs
kinda gross, and this fire is being blown way out of proportion by the media. Yes there are some properties at risk and some losses for the unfortunate people who do live nearby. As for FSJ there was no way in hell it was ever going to get to town. There is so much cultivated land that has just been seeded, all the spruce was logged years ago and with the amount of equipment in town (dozers etc) it just wouldn't happen. Fear mongering by the media once again.

Exactly....there was one rich dude that got a bunch of equipment hauled onto his land, he locked the gates, told everyone to f-off and saved his place.....gov't would have let it burn. The gov't is also forcing people out of their homes that have no chance of burning.....one guy I work with was told if he stayed the RCMP were going to take the kids, his house is surrounded by at least a 1/2mile of freshly seeded dirt in all directions....insanity up here

I forgot to add, my co-worker is like 15 miles from the fire that with normal winds is going away from him. There has been some crooks being seen scouting out places....there are too many roads to properly police that area.
