Mate of mine is working there, been trying to get out of the place for days. Says it carnage, cars abandoned all over the place etc. Saw a few pics on his FB page, looks like a scene from the Walking Dead :eek:
 
88,000 people evacuated, 1,600 properties lost so far. Got mates there and family of mates, all out safely so far as I know. Know 2 people who have lost everything
 
Officials said the size of the blaze was now 7,500 hectares (29 sq miles) and it was being tackled by 100 firefighters.

Seems a trifle inadequate mind.
 
Leader of the White Rose party, main opposition up there has had has house burnt to the ground, nowt left but the concrete shell of the basement
 
is the fire connected to the oil sands at all ?

Its a forest fire, high wind, dry weather and milllions of acres of forest, 80,000 people evacuated and 1,800 buildings burnt to the ground. If the winds head in the wrong direction it could well finish up engulfing Suncor, the largest oil sands patch in the world
