Northern Wild Fires Out Of Control!
Northern Alberta wild fires out of control!
Im not sure if you all have heard but things are insane up north here. We have so many uncontrollable wild fires its ridiculas. All the small towns in my area are getting evacuated & alot of roads are blocked so people cant go through.
I can see from my place & highway by my place 3 or 4 around my town in every direction! Emergency crews are all tied up and people seem to be in a frenzy.
I can only pray for everybody in the area & that they dont lose everything they own. I can only hope they get this under control but the wind is so bad its ing QUICK! Over my house is nothing but black / brown / pink smoke. At one point the sun was almost totally blocked out and getting dark.
I have already packed up everything important to me, picked my favourite car tuner to take, all car audio, loaded up my truck with important or valueables & loaded my daily driver with the pet supplys & the pets them selves if worse comes to worse ( 2 big dogs, bearded dragon, scorpions, crabs, lobsters, 4 birds, fish ) . If it gets to bad im gonna lose alot, can say good bye to the 7 other cars out here & everything in my home as nothing but bush surounds my house and this town.
Some people have already lost there homes I have heard. Make sure to be in contact with any loved ones you know in the area & keep in touch.
Areas effected for sure, slave lake / canyon creek / wide water / not in but around kinuso area / around faust / around the swan hills direction / martin hill area / smith & alot around or inbetween. I am sure I am missing some but this is all I know as of now.
Our local radio station that was keeping us informed just went out to. LAME

Wow beautiful country up there. I used to do service calls up in the Slave Lake, Kinuso, Swan Hills, High Prairie area.
Hope these fires get under control. Most of all no one gets hurt or worse and property loss is at a minimum.

Well slave lake took it so bad today.
Hospital, gas stations, old folks home, library, many many homes & other buildings around town. It looks like the fire may tear down the whole town! I heard the got the final evacuation notice. So far things are looking ok around here but more fires are starting in the area its crazy.
I feel for everybody who has lost there homes, properties, business & possesions. I know a few freinds who already lost everything from the area.
