Always wanted to see the world burn. This is a current event thread, not a debate on "climate change"
Beacon hill got proper fucked.
>>72953456
>>72952357
Trudeau finally brought the free weed
Jesus
They were sending out fuel trucks early this morning to help all the stranded motorists who tried to leave town without a full tank of gas.
>>72953704
>vehicles traveling both directions
Why?
>>72952357
Pretty sad really. A lot of people jobless are now homeless.
I sure hope they all had insurance because the country is too busy giving money to refugees to help.
>>72953488
Underated
So one ecological disaster threatens to destroy another, what a time to be alive
>tfw most of my family lives in Fort Mac
I left that shithole 6 years ago to go fish in newfoundland and I'm afraid that they'll come over here since my house is a shithole saltbox house
So what were the developments since like 2 am EST, I went to bed.
>Had a dream it was the Saudis fault that Canada is burning.
>>72954031
There are communities north of of the city that are safe. The oil camps are also hosting the displaced people and there are a lot of those north of the city.
Most are heading south to Edmonton though.
>>72952357
>mfw worked in firefighting for 12 years
>See this
Whelp, I hope you guys enjoy the smell of burning memories, because you'll be fighting this one for a long, long time. If I had to guess, we're already sending crews and tankers up to help, but it wont be enough, not after its spread like it has.
>>72954341
>So what were the developments since like 2 am EST,
Early surveys confirmed 80% of homes in beacon hill were destroyed. You could have kind of guessed that last night though.
is it still burning?
>>72952357
sad just sad.
>>72954679
Oh wow :( it's still terrible.
Is the death toll still really low though? I mean I know you guys were already having suicide issues due to the economy but now having a lot of the people effected by it losing their homes especially when they probably couldn't afford insurance, it's absolutely tragic.
I really hope my webcam friends made it out OK
>>72954691
Yup. Winds are picking up, and the temperature will reach around 30 degrees Celsius again. It's not over for now, and it will be pushing northeast today.
>>72954035
there will be a construction boom up there. Too much money invested in Ft Mac to just leave it.
>>72954153
the oil companies up there have done more to reclaim areas and plant trees than eco fags do.
>>72954858
>you mean camwhores
>>72954738
no its not! thats what happens when your inept firefighters blaze it 420! YOLO!
>>72954856
No reported deaths yet, but I'm sure a few people probably stayed. There will be deaths, and if not it'll be miraculous.
The worst part about this is that our last glimmer of hope in our economy will likely end up going up in smoke. It's pretty big, for a fire.
>>72954035
Not to worry!
I'm sure the neighboring Canadian provinces will step in and offer free housing, education, food, and TV to these poor fire refugees!
>>72954679
I have no idea how insurance will work in that city either.
The houses would be worth $140,000-$200,000 in most other parts of canada, but in that city you could renovate a shitty little house for 6 bedrooms and it is worth $600,000 and then rent each room for crazy money. THis is after oil collapsed.
Insurance companies don't care about lost rental revenue and all they see is a shitty little house, so some of these owners will get fucked.
This is happening right after our NDP ultra lib Premier slashed the firefighting budget almost a week ago.
>>72955229
Oh she's fucked.
If you fight fires, they win.
Sorry leafs
get well soon
>>72954988

>>72955426
Not how it works m8, there's actually a huge forestry industry around Fort Mac too, my uncle works around there.
Once they cut down an area of forest, they have to replant. Then the trees aren't touched for 70 years.
>>72954035
>muh refugees
What a stupid talking point. We've taken in refugees for decades. If you go around spewing retarded rhetoric like that, you're just going to look like a ridiculous ghoul, and your only accomplishment will be to taint the concept of questioning what logistics are truly acceptable when fulfilling UN obligations. You're basically setting yourself up as a perfect target dummy, just so you can try to fit in.
You're probably way too stuck in your youthful angst phase to get through to though, so whatever.
>>72955229

Why is the Oil going to burn? Has it hit the refineries?
>>72955282
This.
Even in a time like this we have to stick to the plan.
>>72955902
Spent many years loading these things and manning a mix tank while everyone else did the hot work. That count?
were the fires started by ISIS fighters pretending to be syrian refugees?
Damn. I'm from Ontario originally and moved away long ago, but AFAIK, everyone in my hometown who was ever laid off or out of work moved to Fort McMurray. I saw a lot of fb posts a few years back where people would head out there and have multiple job offers the same weekend.
What does this mean for them? Is the city literally over? Does everyone have to move to Calgary, etc. now?
>>72956236
It was started by low humidity, abnornal heat. Never hear of a bush fire?
>>72955993
Im in BC just above Oregon....shits getting crazy and we just might need ya...either way

>>72956236
There are actually multiple wildfires raging i nwestern caanda at the moment, this is the only one we hear about because it hit a city.
Pic related is the view from space showing the fires.
The fire season started much earlier this year due to the record shattering warm winter and lack of snow cover up north. Northern Saskatchewan had a heat wave this spring which didn't help. Instead of the usual 5-7 degree Celsius they hit 25C in some areas.
>>72956638
naw, they'll get bailed out by the taxpayer
>>72956638
Refugees have a choice in where they want to move, and they would not want to move to Fort Mac.
>>72952357
>be leaf
>burn
Sorry eh
People still lived in Fort Mac now that oil prices are so shit? I thought the only people who were still around are are the meth addicts squatting in all the abandoned houses.
>>72956893
Oh shit that i s the wrong fire photo. That was last years wildfires.
I know I have one of the current fire. Gimme a sec. Looks very similar.
>>72956091
It's heading that way, not to mention most of the people who worked the fields lived in Fort Mac... Screen cap this now, our loony is going to tumble.
>>72952357
>yfw canada feels the bern
>>72957194
The actual refinery is 25km north of Fort Mac, at Wood Buffalo.
I don't think it will make it there, unless we see an even worse day for fires there.
If you fight the fire it wins.
Literally the only thing I care about is whether or not this is confirmed Muslim attack or not
Do we have the origin of the fire yet? Usually it's drunk indians
>>72957351
They are expecting a much worse day today and help won't be on the way until tomorrow as initial reports said that serious help was two days away yesterday.
>>72957351
A good wind in the right direction, 25 km is not that far.
>>72952357
This is easily the biggest natural disaster happening since Hurricane Katrina.
A city of 80,000 people (and one of the richest cities on the continent per-capita) is being completely razed by an out-of-control wildfire.
Holy fuck.
Canada can't handle the heat
>>72957194
b-but our Loonie was on it's way back up from the drop in March! This can't be happening. Should I hold onto my USD to cash in for CAD in a few weeks?
>>72957532
Yeah but 25km is a lot to go in one day. It's possible, I guess. It's more likely that the fire will go more easterly, burning down the rest of Fort Mac.
>>72957351
Not to mention that 25km in the grand scheme of things isn't that big of a distance, especially with the heat, dryness, and winds.
>>72957351
Fire can travel over 100 mph very easily, it eats oxygen bro.
We've had similiar shit in 2010 when it was 40 C in shade all summer and forest fires all over
Good luck maplebros
>>72957364
i think you and I are gonna be friends.
> good friends.
>>72957616
YES! buy use now and cash it in in another week. You heard it here first folks.
>>72957616
You should convert every dollar you have to USD right now and short the CAD.
3000ha (16 sq miles)
100 firefighters
8 helos
not even enough to slow this fire down, Canadian Armed Forces are on the way though...hopefully theyll also request help from BC Wildfire Service too
>>72957969
According to an update by the CBC the fire is now 10,000 hectares.
>thousands of homes destroyed
>insurance will manage to screw these people over somehow
>tax payers will still end up footing a large chunk of expenses
>people will be moving to new areas
>many people will choose city life
>housing prices will go up even more
So the biggest winners of this decade are the Real Estate fags, no question right?
>>72957670
It can travel up to the speed of sound if it's being fueled by oil or gas, but only up to around 8 mph if being fed by forests.
GG..G.Guys what happens if this does reach an oilfield? Do we get massive black fiery gold rain down upon the lands similar to burning oil fields in Iraq?
Does this mean gas is going back to $4/gallon in the US?
>>72957969
Without access roads and places to make proper fire breaks, it's all about wind direction and luck now.
>>72955562
>We've taken in refugees for decades.
Looks what that's done, destroyed a whole city with fire.
>>72954578
The reason it got so bad is because pic related senpai. Note the date.
this is what happens when commies run the government
>>72952357
any live stream?
>>72958098
8 mph if not wind driven.
15 mph wind and it's at the refinery in half a day.
Any live maps?
>>72955562

>>72958117
I want to think that the oil fields are protected against this sort of thing but I doubt it
>>72957766
Jesus, I'd be shitting my pants probably.
>>72958233
Is that much money for fighting fire?
I heard the budget was $500 million or something
>>72958340
>http://edmontonjournal.com/news/local-news/alberta-cuts-nearly-15-million-from-wildfire-management-budget
Where does it say this is related to refugees?
Fort McMurray is a genuine shithole full of addicts and drunks. Had this fire not have happened, people would still be talking shit about it daily.
>>72958233
They don't need money for fighting fires, that can be better spent buying Somalians and """""syrian""""" refugees new Playstations
>>72958098
Completely wrong. Take into account the heat of the fire, the elevation changes and the speed and direction of wind, and ESPECIALLY the type of fuel. This fire is crowning that means it can travel on top of the tree line without having to burn through heavy fuels to travel. This thing is a beast. 8 mph is for a fire with none of these. Factots present, which is not realistic at all.
When I went to bed last night I was hoping for a lot more carnage when I woke up. Still hoping it spreads to Edmonton and the entire Athabasca field burns
>>72954237
Are you fishing crab or lobster? I thought all the cod was gone?
>>72958049
Fucking Christ, things are getting hairy canary
>>72958141

>>72958340
Cutting or lowballing fire budgets isnt a huge deal, in BC we have a low budget and when we hit the limit they just open the provincial emergency funds for unlimited dosh
>>72958354
>>72958322
That fire spreads north an it hits the volatile slag pits and oil sands. Smoke buring from the same will be visible for 100 miles if it (the refinery and oil sands heaps goes up.
>>72958141
The fire jumled the river and the roads there is no fire suppresion tactic that will slow this puppy down aside from a bunker busting bomb.
>>72957969
>hopefully theyll also request help from BC Wildfire Service too
BC was unable to send help. They are currently battling 48 wildfires in their own province.
Saskatchewan has fires raging too, but an area the size of Ohio could burn and no one would notice because it is Saskacthewan.
>>72952357

>>72956210
Why is it red if I may ask? Is there something mixed in with water or is it something else entirely?
>>72958517
Yeah you're right I guess, I retract my statement.
They're also worried about pyrocumulus clouds causing lightning in the area, potentially creating more fires.
>>72957670
This. I remember the Telegraph fire in CA in 2008 - at its worst, when being fed by winds and extremely dry grass, it was outpacing the fire engines that were trying to get ahead of it - engines moving at highway speeds. It was fucking nuts.
Pic related - endless lines of tankers, day in, day out. Didn't have to pay for food for damn near a month, though, that was nice.
THIS IS FOR THE WHITE HOUSE YOU FUCKING DIRTY CANUCKS
>>72958736
I knew about the fires up north, but usually we can spare at least a few crews or overhead for Alberta, like last year. Interesting piece of news though, Ive been watching the Wildfire Services site and theres no mention of any of this that I can find....mite b gud for me though as a contract crew, might be able to get on that fire if theyre short
>>72958348
Had this been any other day rather than the day after the Republican Party went full Nationalist Socialist, every network would be covering this 24/7. This is like a 9/11 level happening on Canadian news networks right now.
The damage in dollars is expected to be in the Katrina range. Really stop to consider how much that is, considering the size of the city.
To make this clear to any new lurkers seeing my post wondering what is going on, the entire city is expected lost at this point. It is even hotter and drier today in Northern Alberta than it was yesterday. The fire is only getting bigger.
I repeat, a wildfire in Northern Alberta is completely and totally flattening a city of over 80,000 people.
>>72958948
I asked that question myself.
>>72958838
What game with this fire influence? Centralia influenced Silent Hill
>>72957351
The fire is pretty fast. Just look at this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sqj2bm1VwF0
If the fire did move north, what would it do to pic related?
I imagine the actual tarsands would be worse off, especially with the pools of flammable goo all over, but the actual refineries don't really look that flammable (the concrete and steel part). If something leaks and ignites then all bets are off of course.
>>72959174
By bringing in the Syrian refugees you're just conflating two issues and being a dick. Trudeau should absolutely be called out for the lack of response but this isn't about how you feel about the refugees, its about the residents and how best to help them

>>72958948
Crawled back to his spider hole no doubt.
>>72959567
Economic migrant is a type of refugee
If the fire did reach the tar sands I wonder what it would look like.
>>72959009
I believe it's a fire retardant
>>72959689
That was in Mayerthorpe, that's a couple hundred miles away from Fort Mac.
>>72959009
The retardant is an odd mixture of various chemicals (makes a great fertilizer, as an aside), and it is a vibrant red (well, more pink now) so that it is more visible from the air. It's much heavier than water, and is designed to be dropped ahead of the fire, so as to "retard" its progress, giving ground crews more time to get line up around it. It's not used directly on the fire, like most folk think.
We used to have a direct attack product we just called Gel, and it worked wonders - one S2T tanker could see a fire starting, bust a nut on it directly, and literally put the thing out - no need for dozers, water tenders, or anything more than one truck to mop up. It saved a ton of time and money (and lives), and typical modus operandi at our base was one tanker with gel and one with retardant, to throw a line around the whole area (just in case).
Problem was, the EPA got seven shades of hindpained about it, since the coloring might (and I stress might, it was conjecture) have affected one specific breed of trout or salmon, should it reach rivers and streams. So they canned the whole product.
God bless California, where good ideas that save human lives are thrown away because one specific breed of fish are more important.
>>72958948
>Where is Trudeau while all this is going on?
Probably giving some Saudi or Kuwaiti OPEC oil Prince a celebratory blow-job in his Quebec office as Oil Prices inch upwards especially when the fires spread north and ignite the entire Oil Sands Extraction and Refining infrastructure. Trust me the Saudi's at OPEC are watching this very carefully and whacking-off in rapt joy right about now
>>72959469

>>72959689
>hiw did it start? Didn't a kid start a big fire just last week in Canada?
There were no lightning (or any storms yet for that mnatter) so this was definately man made.
The 2011 slave lake fire was the previous reecord holder as Alberta's msot destructive fire, and it too was deliberately set.
Usually it is the Native American Indians, either through negligence or deliberately set.

Dry rotting vegitation can also spontaneously combust.
Funny fire story, I was on the Okanogan fire last year in Northern Washington and a retardant drop hit a bear and made it very angry so we were all told to keep an eye on this "retarded bear" and the next day we cross this ridge and there he is... the retarded bear hes covered in red shit and it's fucking hilarious and all of us fire fighters just didnt care about the angry retarded bear at all because we had our tools and for some reason were confident that we could rape that bears shit with hand tools, though we had some chainsaws too.

>>72960343
Thats hilarious, although pretty fuggin dangerous. I believe I was on the same fire....it crossed from the States into BC Okanagan, and we ended up chasing it across the border back into the US near a place called Molson in Washington. After the US Border patrol gave us permission to cross on foot each day, that is.
>>72960522
Funnily enough we chased it into Canada!
>>72959723
>Economic migrant is a type of refugee
So the millions of Europeans who settled in Canada for economic reasons in the 19th and 20th century were all "refugees"? Is this the latest frontier in ridiculous left-wing bullshit?
What are the chances that Fort Mac becomes a ghost town after all of this? Where will all the mudslimes, chinks, and newfies go?

Retardant drops have led to some very entertaining moments, especially since all out pilots are crotchety old fucks who like dicking with people.
>Butte fire last year, MidCal
>Hectic day, 30k gallons dropped
>End of the day, cleaning up, see truck driving down the road to the base
>Captains truck
>Pink truck
>Pink truck with cracked windshield, no side mirror and missing a headlight
>Slews to a halt near the main building, angry man gets out
>Pink man
>Hear lots of yelling
>Pink man returns to vehicle, drives away angrily
>Free ice cream the next day, courtesy of a pilot
Turns out one of pilots (whose name shall not be given, to protect the guilty/entertained) might have misjudged his approach a bit and nailed the Captain's truck on the highway, as well as the brush to the side.
It was funny, but direct retardant drops can fucking kill you (1200 gallons of heavy liquid + air speed +height), so the pilot wrote up a nice apology - a copy of that apology sits on the wall, framed, next to a photo of the poor bastards truck.

No, that how insurance works.
Fort Mac houses are expensive due to the land being expensive, not that they are super wonderful houses. If the house burns down the Insurance will pay to replace it.
Much like say, DC were houses are stupid expensive, were a house that worth 150k in most places goes for 800k. If that house burns down you get the 100k to rebuild, and once you rebuild it, it worth 800k since the land is worth 700k
>>72961727
Face away? Huh. I remember them telling us (and the other folks in the class) to face towards the drop, otherwise you run the risk of liquid running along the ground and up into your nostrils, providing a rather unpleasant drowning death on land.
Then again, having retardant dropped on your dome wouldn't be good either. I think the best idea is to just hope it doesn't happen, as it's going to suck either way.

It could have been stopped but the guy who first noticed it didn't want to interrupt the woman who was talking at the time.

Damn, Beacon hill is gone.

>>72960833
About Zero.
if anything, there will be even more insane workload as you will also have tons of construction jobs being made once the insurance checks start to flow.
>Beacon hill
More like bacon hill now

If that fire hits a major refining plants, which uses hydrogen to break down the crude, the estimate we always heard working from the engineers was a 25km radius of an explosion.
To any fort Mac bros:
Hope you and yours are all okay. I'll be heading up with you guys to clean up once this bitch of a fire dies down. God bless.

They are too stupid to put it out and just running around in circles while the fire spreading.
It probably spread that fast because they tried putting it out with more fire

My part of BC voted conservative last year
I know firsthand the effects of these big fires and the aftermath they leave behind. There was a huge fire in my city that terrorized us for weeks.
Pic related is a picture of the fire from 30 miles away.
Good luck maplebros and godspeed to you.

There's fucking sheds in Fort Mac that are twice as big. I mean I can probably pay for them to stay in a hotel in the city but that's 5 hours away from here.

Occasional fires are good, in fact in most forests, are a necessity. I doesn't totally rule out really big ones you get in really dry years, but even those are smaller if you do controlled burns.
Did you know that in the US, preventing forest fires was less of an ecological and financial need, and more of a early justification for the existence of the US forest service? Look up the big burn of 1910. The US forest service was in danger of being defended by the Taft administration, but the forest service used the fire fighting justification for continuing funding after the big burn.
BURN IT ALL PYRO-CHAN
REACH THOSE FIELDS, YOU CAN DO IT
>>72966714
Damn that sounds like the life
>>72966830
Controlled burns = planned little fires
Small natural fires clear underbrush. Lots of large fires are created by that underbrush hiding and spreading fires. Deep enough and it can still burn after light rains.
>>72953480
Buddy, 2014 we got the flood in Calgary, now this, every even year in alba is gonna get rekted

That's fair enough, but helping your family is a white man's virtue. Neither they nor I would expect you to squeeze ten people into that.
>>72966830
Ok, so basically he phrased it AWFULLY. What he meant was, when you stop DOING small fires it can cause a big one. I agree there. What he was saying basically meant when you PUT OUT small fires you create a big one.

The oil operations have not been damaged.
If anything this will lead to a transfer of wealth from US based insurance companies into Canada. Either that or forced stimulus for rebuilding.

The house I live in is a lot more modernized than the pic I posted, but it's the same general house structure. It's so tiny that I have to hunch down when I'm on the second floor. I can stand in the widest room in my house, spread out my arms and touch both sides of the room while my head touches the ceiling. I feel like I live in a hobbit hole but it's still comfy.
Internet's pretty shit at times but I have the conveniences of the electric kike and I never have to deal with progressive bullshit out here. The city, st johns is only 5 hours away and the few times I go there it's pretty comfy but I've noticed a lot more shitskins out there the past few months. they never leave the city though so I never have to put up with liberal bullshit out here.
Insides of these houses typically look like pic related.

Are you even 18? I keep reading this hair brained nonsense. A forest fire is not going to catch the fucking oil field on fire. Jesus fuck...
>>72967746
Um, take a seat, please.
Man... I have this feeling we're gonna lose half the fucking city. They'll make a stand at downtown and around the industrial/airport area, and everything north of the bridge is going to be a fucking wasteland.
>>72958117
There aren't oil fields in Fort Mac. The oilsands won't light on fire.
I'd be concerned about refineries but hopefully they're already protected.
