Sorry I should have shared this before.
Donations to Fort McMurray and the rest of the Alberta fire effort are
done via the Canadian red Cross.
www.redcross.ca
The beauty of this effort is that the Canadian government is matching
donations dollar for dollar, well over 50 million last time I heard.
Yes property can be replaced rebuilding lives takes more though.

If there was any good way to look at this it must be that property can
eventually be replaced.
Lives are a little different

You’re absolutely correct.
As of this morning the fire grew from 620 or so square miles to over 750.
However, the town is largely out of danger at this point as are the oil sands
operations which is the bread and butter for that town. Oil production will
begin ramping back up and the pipelines are being restarted, large parts of the
city still are with out power and water so it’s thought it may be 2 weeks or
more before people can move back in. Last count the count had risen to 2400
structures lost or damaged. Fire is still out of control is some areas but
things steadily are improving. Sounds unbelievable. I haven’t seen any fund
raising efforts online maybe someone will post one if they know of a reputable
charity handling the area.

Scott,
Listening to the national news here today, it sounds very much like
things are slightly better due to rain and colder tempratures But they are
still no where near out of danger.
It's seemingly that large that the guys in the space station have been taking
photos of the fire.
250000 hectairs already burnt.

I hear you, when I lived in California i lived in the mountains south of San
Jose and I believe it was 2008 when there were 3700 different fires started in
the local area by a freak lightning only (no rain) storm that went through the
area. Fire came close enough we had to evacuate but it was a short time as
they got things under wraps. It was horrible though, you couldn’t breathe
outside anywhere in the bay area, you couldn’t open your windows and the poor
people who lost their homes. Around me there were only a handful of houses
lost, in Canada last i heard they had lost over 1600 structures. I hope our
services down here are offering up assistance to get that situation under
control.

News this morning was good concerning the fire. We’ve had a lot of
cold rainy weather up her win the north east and our neighbors to
the north seem to be benefiting from the weather as well. Reports
were they had gotten the upper hand on the fire with the help of the
improving weather and they were starting to beat the fire back and gain
containment.
This is good news as things sounded really unbelievable up there.

That fire sounds really bad and I'm use to hearing about
austrailian bush fires.
Lets just hope the people are able to stay safe as they have done
thus far.

I was thinking about Tim from when I began to hear about the Fort
McMurray fire. But I couldn't remember his name. What is his website?

Hi folks,
For those who may have wondered, yes our list contributor Tim
Kilburn and his family live in Fort Mcmurray Alberta.
I reached him electronically the other day and he did let me know
they got out safely.
I am unsure if he remains on list, but if any of you recall his
kindness and wisdom, remember him and his city at this time. Drop
him a note as well if you feel motivated.
He still keeps fine apple resources on his site for all of us.
Thanks,
Kare
