Thinking of our Canadian friends. Hope none are caught up in this horrendous fire. |

Frightening to see how close the fire was to the fleeing residents in cars, just hope the weather changes in favour of the fire services. |

Looks awful can't even begin to think how we'd cope in the same circumstances. Just made a donation to the Canadian red cross they'll need all the help they can get in Alberta. |

As a further note ............ it seems that 2 people were killed in a car crash yesterday that happened further south on the highway, close to Edmonton, I believe. |

I must buy a decent map of Canada. I am not very sure of its geography. I know I have relatives in Saskatchewan, wherever that is in relation to Alberta and BC. |

Fort McMurray is several hundred kilometres to the north of where I live. The wildfire meant that 80,000 people were evacuated. It must have been terrifying driving through this area. |

My sister lives near Calgary, so is fortunately nowhere near the fires. She says they have had a fairly mild winter with much less snow than usual. |

Will need to speak to my Canadian cousins and see how they're affected as they live in St Catharines, Ontario. |
