I am optimistic that we'll be rebuilding in summer. I have high hopes.
We can do it by ourselves!!

First for prediction of gun confiscations, they did it to new orleans after the flood, they'll do it here.
Edmonton is filling up. The traffic was unusually bad yesterday and at least two gas stations (close to Rexall/Expo) stopped selling fuel.
Alberta government update
A provincially declared state of emergency for the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo is in effect.
Fire conditions remain extreme, with 18 new starts yesterday. A total of 49 wildfires are burning, with seven considered out of control, 12 being held, 23 under control, and seven turned over to the responsible parties.
Cooler temperatures of 16 C are predicted, but lower humidity and winds at 25 kilometres, gusting to 40 kilometres per hour, make weather a significant factor.
More than 1,110 firefighters, 145 helicopters, 138 pieces of heavy equipment and 22 air tankers are fighting the fires.
Mandatory evacuation orders are in place for Fort McMurray, Anzac, Gregoire Lake Estates, Fort McMurray First Nation and Mackenzie County near High Level. Residents of evacuated areas should not attempt to return home.
Emergency gas and diesel are temporarily available along Highway 63.
Albertans can call 310-4455 for information and stay up to date on the Alberta Emergency Alert and Alberta Wildfire apps.

This should be illegal. The airlines are gouging people who want to fly from Alberta to back home out east.
Someone Red Pill me:
Is this a false flag?
Are the Oil companies burning their shit down for the insurance money since oil will never go back to $100?
Holy shit is it still burning?
Why are your firefighters so shit Cuckada?
All in all, we can all agree that no one is being paid to shill for Hillary. It's a Republican- funded lie and a pathetic attempt at smearing her campaign.

I'm spending way too much time on /pol/ because last night after i fell asleep (around 3 am after following the threads all night), i had a dream that i was in canada and trudeau passed an emergency law because of the fires that no one could sell anything in canada for more than $5. everyone around me thought it was great but i was in a panic thinking of what was going to happen to the businesses and how supplies would run our shortly.
Apparently there is a need for food at the GA airports as people being flown in have not eaten in a day or two.
>>73077599
Yeah the camp I stayed at on tuesday (MLV) didn't have any food. They didn't even have running water as the camp was set to be condemned.
Good thing I GTFO of there the next day.

Fort McMurray needs some rain.
>>73078004
None so far.
>>73078004
2 From a car crash while they were trying to get away. As usual this is canada and even our natural disasters are a joke.
Does anyone know if theres a website where I can donate some money to the people who lost their homes and need help with expenses while evacuated?
>>73078004
There are a few people that refuse to leave but so far there was one collision that killed two people and that's it
>>73078107
You should add that it didnt even happen anywhere near the fires
>>73078185
There is the Red Cross and the Fed Government promises to match every donation made to them

As someone posted in an earlier thread. This is a city full of blue collar workers, the majority of them would have First Aid, WHIMIS and other safety training. This means that most everyone was trained in ho to deal with emergencies and to keep panic at a minimum. This leads to a relatively calm evacuation and seriously lowers fatalities

Yep, oil workers have very good first response training, you could see it in the evacuation, everyone stayed calm, and the only time they broke lanes was when the fire was threating to melt their cars.

why so many threads?

these are about the only threads on /pol/ where people discuss anything anymore. why do you care?
>>73076999
That sounds like an exciting dream
>>73080079
Because I'm a curious person.
Why is Fort McMurray so important? any nuclear plant in danger or something?
>>73079935
Sorry it not meme tastic for you. Fort McMurray is where all the oil workers in alberta live, and it was overrun with a forest fire, and you have nice images of fire.
AB Wildfire Information officer says fire has grown to 85,000 ha, roughly the size of Calgary.
For Americans that 200,000 acres.
>>73080328
Not nuclear, but massive hydrocarbon extraction complexes. There are large quantities of highly explosive and toxic substances stored in the vicinity.
I could almost see this entire situation becoming something like a Family Guy skit

Steel fails at 700-800 degrees C as a structural member. Most steel buildings do not have ready fuel around them to allow a fire like to to burn long enough to make the members fail, but you would have extensive damage.
So did an actual entire city burn down or is the shitty american news over blowing things as usual?
How many dead?

an entire city's burning to the ground. 88,000 people are displaced from their homes and had to evacuate.
>>73081650
Not going into 911 conspiracies, but you do know that the entire corner of that building, from the ground to the 16th story had been knocked away by falling debris?
And of course it fell down and not over. It takes massive amounts of energy to knock a building sideways.

>>73081848
Nobody's been confirmed dead from the fire, as far as we know all 88,000 residents made it out of the city alive.
The only confirmed deaths are two people, but that was in a car collision nearly 300 kilometers away from the fire (186 miles).
>>73081548

Canada demanded that we also take Quebec, and that killed it.

why did they send the whole canadian army there?
>>73074459
I hope your city burns to the ground
Well, it's already a disaster twice as bad as Pripyat... And the fire hasn't even gotten to the oil facilities yet.
>>73082460
Well Obama seems keen on Unions and against independence so I'm sure he would entertain the idea of an American Union, with Canada, Mexico and absorbing South America step by step. Trudeau to lead it, all drugs legal but guns are illegal (constitution scrapped).

Ameribro, thank you. You are great
>>73082583

>>73078004
Two babies were born during the evacuation. This brought life, not take it away.
>>73082630
Man power mostly to clear debris and dig trenches
The goal is to circle the fire with a cleared path of no fuel so the fire can't spread
>>73081224
Wildfires are a fact of life up there. They probably have a way to mitigate it
>>73078004
One
They are evacuating other areas? The news said that it's been contained
>>73082703
In the British North America Act there's a provision which entitles them to language laws
The 1982 charter of rights sort of restricted their language laws though because they were no longer allowed to ban English signs BEVSUSE because freedom of expression
>>73082876
A few of the fire lines have been contained, but in general the fire is out of control.
>>73082754
Controlled burns and let small fires burn hemselves out were the usual method, but enironmentalists put an end to that so decades of detrius and brush builds up on the forest floor and once it starts, fires can travel for miles underneath before being detected, and then entire foress can flare up at once.
>>73082751
i was a joke actually...
i thought you guys had fire commandos for such a job
we had a similiar situation on 2007 and when our govermen decided to send those fire commandos the fire was confinfed in a matter of 6 hours
im not a tin foil lover but when i see such a rare fire getting out of control on a country that has the capability to fight it its just makes me cringe
>>73082922
Indeed - Just under US laws they couldn't even regulate or require french signage.
>>73079409
Just imagine the smell
>>73082876
A small town nearby got evacuation orders as well but hopefully the fire is contained by now
>>73082828
>Muh conservative values anti liberals!
they're all going to be banking on socialist EI and government funding to rebuild the city.

>if you put the fire out it wins
>>73083084
Well there's the notwithstanding clause Quebec has used a lot which basically means "we acknowledge this law is violating rights BUT we're passing it anyway"
After 5 years it expires so the next government in power would have to renew it or let it expire
We had a fire that was pretty bad up here in Labrador City/Wabush a few years ago that made the news.
Wabush had to be evacuated to the nearest town (lab city) which is 3 minutes away and the fire would have destroyed Wabush and proceeded to Lab city until an unexpected gust blew it a different direction.
Good luck fort mac bros.

>>73072940
What started the fire?
Was it another oil train that derailed?
Why haven't they just dropped a nuke on the fire yet?
It would blow out the flames and spare the city.
How does this affect Alberta long term?
>>73083665
No one has any real ideas but they are working on the assumption it was human started

>>73079590
>Legion post in FortMc
Can't tell if still a building, or a crumpled mess.
>>73083749
Considering this was a major player in the oil industry it will have ramifications for the entire Canadian economy, and I assume Alberta will be most affected by that
>>73083080
Environmentalists refuse to allow the forest to be maintained to reduce the risk of such fires. Many times not even letting forest roads to be built to break up the forest.
Also, this is with the exception of the city and the highways and the actual oil sites these are some of the more remote places in Canada. Outside of Yellowknife and around Lake Abathaska<sp> you really do not have any cities more north that have over 20k people.
I will let a canadian prove me wrong if I am, but it 4-5 hours north of endminton!
>>73083080
The difference is that the front of this fire is absolutely massive and fueled by dense forest and you live in a nation with the equivalent landmass of our smallest province.
It's like you're saying that because a Greek put out a fire in a trashcan that all Greeks are masters of house fires.
The company I work for sent out two trailers worth filled of nothing but bottled water towards Edmonton Today. I am wondering as a Calgaryfag, where is the best place to donate food and baby formula? Do I need to travel up to Edmondchuk or does any other calgarian here know where?
>>73083796
actually the one on peloponhsos that year was 610.000 acres the whole west part of it pretty much got burned
>>73083240
fort mcmurray has a tiny little airport, its not like there are hundreds of flights out of there a day. there are probably a dozen or so.
>>73083752
If I were ISIS I'd claim responsibility, not like they'll be able to figure it out for certain at this point
I don't know anything about Canadian geography? How big could I possibly get and could it spread into america
Why hasn't he stopped it? Stopping the flames should be second nature to him.
This is a really /comfy/ fire.
>>73083225
>>73083409
Or 328 square miles
Canada deserved this
>>73083994
Hades came up from the under world
>>73083579
Shoo shoo radical liberal
>>73083752
Of course it was. No thunderstorms and no lightening. My mother said to me the day before the evacuation was given that the RCMP were in the woods behind her house looking for people on ATVs. It was either caused by that, people on ATVs setting fire to dry grass by hot exhaust, bush parties from backpackers out for a rip on the weekend or was cause by something very common there, niggers/injun stealing cars and taking them out on back roads and setting fire to them. These are only causes to this, outside of nutty conspiracy about eco terrorism.
Trust me, I lived there for 25 years, born and raised.
>>73082209
It's raining over on the East Coast. I'll send a few buckets Alberta's way.
>>73084067
>and could it spread into america
Its in northern Alberta so no. How big could it get? I guess the entire boreal forest and taiga could catch fire
>>73084285
I know all this and agree with you
>>73083585
They had a 3,500,000 acre fire at one point.
>dad works for the national energy board
He's probably having a pretty shitty couple of days...
>>73084346
This is the current map so it could spread to America.
>>73084346
that amount of shit burning would blot out the sun across most of the world
>>73083812
Very far, there is a slim chance of it being caught in the fire. All sites were clear cut of wood for open pit mining. It will only catch a site on fire if the sites have their own fire/explosion big enough to engulf a large radius.
>>73084285
Composting underbrush can also spontaneously combust. Another reason for controlled burns to keep the floor clean.
>>73083514
A mutt jew.
This is why Toronto is the bottom barrel of Canadian society.
>>73079409
plz do
>>73079590
There use to be an old chieftain tank there on display, wonder what happened to it.
Any recent, up to date maps?
>>73084504
The smoke from it has reached as far south as missouri.
>>73084546
Embers can travel for kilometers depending on the wind.
>>73084346
if it has it's papers in order. and maybe a green card.
>>73083585
Miramichi fire, Saguenay fire, the great fire of 1919, the Manitoba fires. I'm sure there are more.
>>73083943
No, you are right.
are he lightning storms front the heat updraft confirmed? I saw some news talking about it yesterday
>>73084075
Wherever i am, i must also shitpost.
>>73084680
We had a pink sunset here in Ontario last night
>>73084504
>current year minus two
>>73084854
No storms so far but it is definitely a real danger
>>73084504
>burning permafrost
>>73085010
you mean red right?
>>73085010
Sounds comfy
>>73084597
Most of the ground in the area is muskeg, wet, aging, swamplands. The grassy areas tend to be man made where they dug up the muskeg and replaced it with clay and soil. Most are cutlines for utilities and pipelines. Very little room for dry underbrush when its a natural wetland.
GOD JUDGES AMERICA
>>73082347
Fuck, I thought of that too. kek
>>73082676
I'm sure it won't get that bad... Stalker...
>>73085090
Fuck. I just looked up map of Canada fire and it was the first result. Here is the real one.
>>73084731
The odds of hot embers landing directly on the sulfur is slime to none. It's just a meme at this point when the sites are far enough away.
>>73085376
That's from two days ago, this is the map today.
http://cwfis.cfs.nrcan.gc.ca/maps/fw
>>73085484
I'm just curious what the plans are for all the sulphur. Leave it, process it into somethign else, rebury it, pretend it's not there?
>>73085376
>>73085535
the flag on top of the a is cute
>>73085535
>no chance of ontario burning up
>>73085695
>the flag in top of the a is cute
a Canada? I thought it was o Canada.
>>73085668
It's a feedstock and byproduct of a large variety of industrial processes
>>73085811
But at what point does the pile get so big that someone says "Whoah, dude. We've got way too much sulphur."
>slashing the fire department budget shouldn't be called barbaric
>>73085668
>>73085951
It's a by-product of the oilsands it just sits there because we create so much more than we use and don't know what to do with it.
>>73085668
Stock pile. Though it was more common to see tanker trucks transporting molten sulphur out of town to where ever. Sulphur is a byproduct of extracting the bitumen from the oilsands, maybe its needed to extract it. I forget.
>Latest #ymmfire:
>-85000 hectares (now larger than Edmonton)
>- 1100 firefighters
>- evacs begin for 25k north of city
>- fire moving S of city.
is it heading for nexen?
>>73085951
when you start seeing isildur there stealing it you know its big enough

This is the future we indirectly chose, these fires are going to be more commonplace in the decades to come.
>>73085184
Well it looks pink but sure
>>73085232
It's from particulate matter in the atmosphere
>>73084853
Not even sure how big Yellowknife is...
Current burning location.
This is the perfect time for a company to shoot a virtual reality porno with 200ft walls of fire behind them. Firefighter saving a trapped citizen and they bang or something
>>73085668
Sell it at a set price. It is a byproduct of the main stuff, so they figure out how much it costs to sell it, price it accordingly, and 10 years from now they will be still selling it down.
>>73086245
when you see a red sunset its most surely sulfur in the air enough to make a blanket
remember the 2010 dsmkgfnrg8gu589jt54tgjnghf volcano erruption on iceland? it took it 3 weeks to release enough sulfur into the air for the people in iceland to start seeing a red sunset...
>>73086060
the 1100 number is firefighters deployed across the province atm, theres only about 250 on the mac fire itself
>>73086247
Yellow knife is like 20k people tops
I also don't even think there are roads from the provinces to there
>>73085951
What the fuck do you expect them do to with it send it to space?
The only reason it is not sold is because Ching Chong keeps the bulk price so low with their shit labor wages and complete lack of standards. It gets used for industrial purposes but it would be marketable for sale if we weren't so focused on outsourcing our entire economy
>all dose maple syrups
>>73086520
I hiked that volcano. anyone who says finnish is the elven language has never been to iceland
I will take care of the new thread.

K I took a pic of my screen because work computer blocks 4chin
Red marker is Yellowknife, mouse cursor is Fort McMurray
Unless the fire can cross Great Slave lake I think they're fine
Not to scare people but we need to be more concerned with a coming war. When I was growing up in Fort Mc during the 80s, it was still common to be taught fallout and nuclear war safety from a preemptive Soviet strike. Why? Because of the oil production starting to kick off well at that time. I remember being told that a small 1kt bomb could hit Syncrude and put all of the municipality in a disaster not just from nuclear fallout but from all the heavy chemicals that would be kicked up in the wake. Now that the city and basically the whole municipality is evacuated, something could kick off.
>>73086757
hello why does the middle of the fire parts look green

That was a volcano Stephanopolous they release massive amounts of sulphur
The anon with the red sky unfortunately doesn't realize that it's normal and unrelated to the fire. He is thousands of kilometers away.
>>73086930
Really hot spots causing blue flame mixing with the more yellowish flames from a far away view
>>73086914
lets be real for once..
when you use a nuclear device there is on winners
you just use it for one purpose and one purpose only
and using it on canada will most likely be a waste of time
>>73087044
>The anon with the red sky unfortunately doesn't realize that it's normal and unrelated to the fire
b-but my local newspaper sad it was
>>73086930
It appears to be thermal imaging
>>73087105
interesting
>>73086930
High intensity fires.
>>73086902
I am not worried about it, just was trying to think of any cities of note in Canada north of Fort Mc other then Yellowknife.
>>73087258
>any cities of note in Canada
I'll name them
Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal, Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, maybe Winnipeg Halifax and Quebec City?
>>73087412
He was specifically wanting to know about any north of Ft mac
>>73087412
Quebec City doesn't count. It's only in Canada because nobody else would take it and Canadians are too polite to say No Thank You.
>>73087412
you should have finished reading his post
>>73087599
>>73087559
I know
I was just pointing out there are only like 6 or 7 cities of note in all of Canada.
>>73087171
What region of Ontario?
Looking to the East red sky at night means there is a high pressure system on the horizon. Red sky in morning means that a low pressure system (storm) is approaching.
I am curious about your location, because there was no red sky here last night.
>>73087675
then you forgot cole harbour :^)
>>73087724
Sudbury
What is Canada doing with an oil industry anyway? Silly fucking Canadians you're supposed to be extracting maple syrup not oil.
>>73087922
>supposed to be extracting maple syrup not oil
We leave that to Quebec
