Canadian wildfire grows tenfold, forces more evacuations

A catastrophic wildfire that has forced all 88,000 residents to flee Fort McMurray in Alberta, Canada exploded tenfold in size on Thursday, cutting off evacuees in camps north of the city and putting communities to the south in extreme danger.


The out-of-control blaze has burned down whole neighborhoods of Fort McMurray in Canada's energy heartland and forced a precautionary shutdown of some oil production, driving up global oil prices.

Hard to imagine a city of 88000 on fire. Kinda makes your own personal problems seem pretty trivial.

Northern Alberta taking a beating very early in the year. Damage at Fort MacMurray will be at least 5 billion. Maybe as much as 9 billion. Equivalent to or greater than Katrina. Our friends to the north are taking a huge economic hit.

The emotional hemophiliac alarmists at it again.......last year it was California and the year before, who knows? That's just part of the playbook for the religion.........make any climate event a catastrophy.

Wildfires have been occurring for billions of years on this wonderful planet......they are quite necessary s0ns!!!

Don't take my word for it though............that's what NASA says..........

BTW......some board members might want to take a gander over in the ENVIRONMENT forum where the AGW climate obsessed get their clocks cleaned on a daily basis by people not embracing the religion.

Go check it out...........some seriously funny shit to see.........

Evacuation orders lifted north of Fort McMurray...

Progress made on fighting Fort McMurray wildfire
May 21, 2016 -- Firefighters in Alberta said they should be able to make progress containing the Fort McMurray wildfire over the weekend and several camps north of the town have been reopened.

The progress is thanks to cooler, damper weather in the region, which saw trace amounts of rain Friday. Mandatory evacuation orders for several oilseeds camps north ofFort McMurray were lifted, municipal officials tweeted, though the town itself remains under a mandatory evacuation.

The wildfire, which now occupies about 1.2 million acres, has shrunk slightly over the last two days, firefighters said. They were able to make more progress on the "dozer line" — the bulldozer line meant to contain the wildfire — and helicopter loads of water were making progress in beating back the massive flames.

Among the odder problems generated by the wildfire is the increasing prevalence of black bears in Fort McMurray. Wildlife officials said the bears are being attracted into the town by the smell of rotting food in abandoned homes. The bears are, like people, largely homeless thanks to the wildfire destroying so much of their surrounding habitat. Wildlife officials told the CBC residents returning should be on the lookout for bears in places they previously would not have been.

Fire evacuation orders lifted north of Fort McMurray
Sunday 22nd May, 2016 — Alberta officials have lifted mandatory evacuation orders in some areas north of Fort McMurray, where a raging wildfire has forced the evacuation of more than 80,000 people and the closure of oil sands operations.

Officials said Saturday that conditions have improved in some parts north of the oil sands city. Suncor Energy Inc. and Syncrude will now be able to resume its idled northern oil sands operations and bring back evacuated workers.

About 8,000 oil sands workers in camps north of Fort McMurray were evacuated after gusting winds and high temperatures caused the fire to move rapidly toward them earlier this week.

The blaze, which began May 1, has covered 1,930 square miles (5,000 square kilometers), including areas that are still burning and those where the fire has already been put out.
