According to FBI data, 4,906 black people murdered other blacks in 2010 and 2011. That is 1,460 more black Americans killed by other blacks in two years than were lynched from 1882 to 2016
Blacks kill over 25% more blacks in one year than "racists" did in 134 years

Lived in Calgary about 8 years ago.
Fort MacMoney was a legendary place back then.
RIP in peace, oil town ;_;7
>>73126365
I was wondering the same thing.
>They have removed all manpower defending Anzac. Only air support.
Air support does not fly at night...
During the morning fires were coming through Abasand along the downtown Valley peak. Going house by house. Fire was put out with damage to approximately three houses.
Saprae Creek estates east of the airport has been hit hard, likely serious losses.
The bridge by Abasand as two hours ago has been a high priority.
Fire crews are dropping fire retardant around the Thickwood and the Water Treatment plant area.
Parsons Creek area has been hit hard, likely serious losses in those areas.
Macdonald Island had fires in areas last night, some crews were forced to move their water trucks to Timberlea as a result.
Albian air strip had a fire today a few hours ago but it has been taken care of.
That is all for now.
A reminder that these are UNOFFICIAL and UNVERIFIED reports,

You know. Stir the shit pot a bit, get some people angry, get some people thinking.

So this is how the end of the world looks like...
It started with the fires in May, they haven't stopped for weeks, 7 months have passed by and the forest is dead, the fire is fueled by the oil refineries and a newly found methane pouch underground, the fire was so hot the earth beneath it started to melt.
The atmosphere it's being damaged beyond repair
3 years and it still goes on, Elon Musk and other billionaires have taken refuge in tropical islands with glass domes and air filtration and recycling systems.
The masses are panicking, there's terror on the streets.
Cars have been modified with heavier filters so they are able to run without destroying the engine.
The ashes from the fire have made the biggest cloud in human history blocking the western hemisphere and slowing down the gulf current
Everything is lost
We are hopeless, i fear for my kids but i can't take it, my lungs hurt and i have to go out again to gather water and a few supplies for the generators
I'm tired of this
Kill me please
>>73128778
>What's a fire break going to do against billions of embers flying kilometers in the wind's direction?
Flying embers don't tend to start the outsides homes on fire. Modern homes are actually more than a little fire proof.
And if the embers are landing on buildings then residents and the fire department can put them out. What levels cities like Cold Lake is when burning trees and brush are close to buildings then buildings start to burn and can then consume other surrounding buildings.
A fire break will stop the forest from being right beside the outside of the town and burning it.
For the record the report on the Cold Lake fire suggested that fire brakes and eliminate the problem of forest fires destroying cities and towers.
That suggestion was clearly never implemented. But then again people still live in the old area of High River, and Calgary hasn't done anything to stop the downtown from flooding again.

No, of course not. Forests need to burn down which is why it's such a planning blunder that Fort Mac was built there in the first place.
Boreal forests are very resilient and in a few short years you wouldn't even be able to tell a fire happened there.

Isn't it winter for you right now?
>>73129513
No. The oil industry there was already in the shitter, and now the population has been displaced. Most of those people aren't going to come back. What's burned down wont be rebuilt. Much of what didn't burn will simply be abandoned, as with the population gutted, there's no reason for much of the downtown area to exist. Worst case the place is like a Canadian version of Pripyat (80,000 people used to live here!). Best case its like a smaller, Canadian version of Detroit - dead, decaying suburbs surrounding a still barely alive downtown core.
As for the fires reaching Edmonton... no. That's way to far, and the wind isn't really going to blow that way anyway.

El nino
Arid hot air, hotter than usual climate
it was a tragedy waiting to happen
>>73130183
It is a combination of the climate in Alberta (very dry), the unseasonably high temperatures (30+C early in the season), and the type of fire (tree top fires are very dangerous as the tops are the driest part, making it easy to spread). Combine that with the high winds, and you now have the perfect recipe for a fire.

It's not just embers. Small branches can travel hundreds of meters. Carried by strong updrafts created in the fires, they can rise several hundred feet, and settle in almost any direction. The embers are usually wind blown and are downwind to the fires. The have a shorter burn time, but the branches drop from above and are like dropping a lit torch on wherever they land.

April/May in Canada is worst time for forest fires because new growth hasn't come in yet. Last year we had El Nino which made everything along the West Coast drier with less rainfall and way less snowpack. Humidity too low - temps too high. Forests and plains dried up. Even the smallest of fires could become a raging inferno (like what we're witnessing now). Thing is, there are thousands of forest fires throughout the country every year. What makes this one different is it's taking out towns. This shit usually happens where nobody lives/cares.
It's a media frenzy is all.

Take a stick and light it on fire. Now with the burning stick go and try and burn down a house.
Not going to work.
~
What you are suggesting to be clear is that because some buildings might suffer some damage from burning embers, we should take no action of any kind to protect the outside of the city with a fire break.
That's like saying we can't stop 100% of car accidents so, remove all safety features in all vehicles because it's not perfect.

Embers are more dangerous than the fire front when it comes to houses. All it takes it one ember to get into the gutters or a small gap in the roof, then the entire house goes up.
>>73130778
>Yes and like I said again it's not going to help when an ember can fly over that shit like it was nothing.
So no one should ever try and make a fire break. That aspect of forest fire fighting is stupid and should be stopped, and home owners should just let trees grow right up to their back windows?

Yeah our weather has been crazy fucked up this spring. One day it'll snow then the next day it'll be +25°C and dry as fuck with not a cloud in the sky. Its been a weird few weeks

I remember the last big fire to threaten a major city here (Kelowna '03 - a lot of friends were there). The fire was so dangerous thousands of firefighters and soldiers were deployed and they saved pretty much the whole city.
Fort Mac on the other hand had nothing of the sort. The fire had been going on for weeks, but not a murmur from anywhere, until it was too late. So I have the sense this was one of those fires where it's like baseball - you've got it until you don't.
>>73130979
>Take a stick..
These aren's just sticks. These are branches with masses of smaller limbs, sometimes with burning leaves, completely dried out from the heat of the fire, burning and smoldering, and falling out of the sky by the hundreds or thousands.
And if you want to see what a burning stick can do, take one out of a fireplace and drop it on the rug or couch, and then go out for a beer. Chances are your house won't be quite the same way you left it.

>Embers are more dangerous than the fire front when it comes to houses. All it takes it one ember to get into the gutters or a small gap in the roof, then the entire house goes up.
So do nothing at all in anyway to protect the city with a fire break.
You have a one in a million chance for a fire that the local fire department or citizens/residents and put out but that's too big a risk so do nothing at all because you might still get a few localized fires.
Also just to be sure, what fucking gap in the roof are you talking about? Their are none because it's -40C in winters.

No, we're actually quite adept at it. Dept of Forestry sets prescribed fires all the time to keep everything healthy and diverse.
Problem with this one is poor planning and they cut funding for fire prevention. Alberta gov fucked up.

Fight fire with fire. They should regularly control burn outside all these 'towns in forests' to prevent these raging infernos. What we've got here is failure to communicate. Some men you just can't reach. So you get what we had here last week, which is the way he wants it. Well, he gets it. I don't like it any more than you men.
I wonder if Fort Mcmurray people still have to fill out their census by next week

>Fire breaks need additional support to be rendered effective. Back during that Yellowstone fire embers made it over the so called fire breaks.
Fire breaks don't work great when you can blow an ember over and have it land in more forest, but when that ember is going to land on a modern building or a city street it's not that big a risk. In that while an uncontrolled fire will consume a town like what happened in Cold Lake, if you keep the massive conflagration 600m away from your buildings they tend to do much better.

>Federal government is run by not only a Liberal, but a Liberal with a serious grudge against Alberta.
Look into the history of the Trudeau family's relations with Alberta. When his father was running the show he tried to fuck them over, and they have hated those cunts ever since.
Also:
>Provincial government (NDP) is our furthest left party in the country, and was voted in on a protest vote against the Conservatives.
The NDP absolutely loath Alberta's oil industry, and also gutted their wildfire budget this year.
>Pic 100% fucking related.
This NDP cock sucker was a candidate during the last election. He decided in the middle of a national tragedy (everyone across the country knows someone in Ft Mac) to say this is karma for fucking climate change.
We are in trouble, and they are not going to do shit.

Hah, I fucking wish this were true anon. The "downtu(d)rn" was just market players (OST, SU ect.) being greedy kikes and making risky investments in the preceding-peak oil years. It was already a well established and bustling town decades prior to the oil boom thanks to slave labor from eastern plebs. Though they have become too expensive and sjw with their demands and were promptly replaced by cheap mudslime labor.
At its worst, it'll return to pre-boom times. But almost certainly, after a few years, it'll mostly return to normal levels with betabux from provincial and ottawa kucks.

So far we are about two weeks out from fires in Cal and Idaho, Washington, Oregon, Montana, and North Dakota will be roughly 3-4 weeks from now. Arizona and Texas and New Mexico are obvious. El Nino is very bad this year and will peak in a month and I predict we will see more than 5 fires hit the 1 million acre mark. States that usually don't have fires will blaze. This year is going to be something we have not seen for a very very long time. It may be something we have never seen outside of war time.

A roof can leak, damage can happen during storms that you don't realise. There are a number of ways a roof can not be 100% sealed.
Firebreaks are only part of an effective fire management system. Of course it's better to have them, but a firebreak will not guarantee your house will survive as embers can bypass the gap.
some reports now that the fire is at Anzac.

>We're saying firebreaks aren't as effective as you're making them out to be.
I'm saying that the recommendations from Cold Lake report offered them as the solution to be implemented everywhere.
Also you know like 8000 years of human history protecting cities and dwellings from fires.
We have set back /spacing requirements for buildings to protect them. With modern materials they are much closer than was common in the past and tend not to spiral out of control.

Lets see what else can burn;
Landscape mulch
Debris in gutters
Trees in yard
Dry lawns
Decks
Plastic lawn furniture
Leaves or leaf piles in yards
Garbage
Misc. flammable objects in yards

>Dude, the GRASS is flammable.
But not a huge source of fuel. You can burn the lawn grass around a house and not damage it.
But that also ignores that you can also keep your grass 1m back and have no risk of your lawn burning your house down.
Or you can keep the lawn watered. The town doesn't have water issues due to the size of the river it's built around and it's population.
However, again I will ask; Because you might have grass burn no action should be taken to protect the town from fire and you should build right to the tree line with zero space to protect from fires?
Are you actually saying that?

Yeah it started out small but the local folk were optimistic that they had it under control. Then Murphys Law took effect and it got closer and closer to the city and just took off

>A roof can leak, damage can happen during storms that you don't realise. There are a number of ways a roof can not be 100% sealed.
Sure, but you will notice it in winter in Fort Mac. Further the roof leads to a supporting understructure and then to 100% fire proof insulation.
The only way you will get a fire is if your magic ember manages to have enough energy to light a structural member on fire after passing through some sort of gap. (A gap I'm not sure even can exist)
