I have been watching news every Night. My Heart goes out to everybody there.

Thanks for sharing your heart on this Karen. I, too, have been fervently praying for the people of Canada. It's the kind of thing where you helplessly watch as your world gets torn apart - I've seen it happen and it is very frightening, even when it's not your own home. Hopefully, they will get it under control soon without loss of lives.

Blessings,
Debby

It is a very devastating event but everyone is pulling together to help. So many logistics or re housing 80,000 people. Getting the kids back into schools, and just the hear break of losing everything. Keep them in your thoughts and prayers.

So far from what I've heard everyone is safe. Still devastating. A few friends of mine had lost their house.
One of our Canadian brewery's Labatt, shut down their beer production and has shipped out 200,000 cans of water for those who are affected in Fort Mac.

I can't hit 'like' for something like this, but they are all in our hearts and prayers.

Oh I had no idea it was all going on, but living in Australia I can certainly relate. It sounds so devastating to say the least. A decent drenching of rain will stop it in its tracks, so let's pray for rain.

That is so heart wrenching, our thoughts and prayers must go out to all affected.

Thanks Karen;
I live here in the Vancouver, BC area, and have a major connection with Ft. Mac, as My pilot car company escorts oversized loads back and forth to that area as well as other sites. Most of my friends are now without homes, as the fire has totaled the whole south and west sides of the town. They are basically squatting in a hostel in Grassland, which is several hundred miles south of the fire zone. The Canadian Red Cross is taking donations on their site and you can also type "redcross" on 30333 to donate $5.00 to the efforts.
For the people in Ft. McMurray, I thank any and all who donate. Thanks again, Karen, for bringing this up to all and sundry.
Be blessed.

Yes, an incredible tragedy and great losses.....

Hi Karen. I'm about 6 hours south of the city that burned. 80,000 plus evacuees, most are now in Edmonton, 90 minutes up the highway. 1600 plus homes burned and I'm not sure how many businesses. So far no confirmed deaths as a result of the fire and it sounds like minimal injuries. Some of the videos are frightening. We're all supporting those who have been forced to leave their homes in whatever way we can. Thanks for posting this and let's keep these people in our thoughts and prayers.
