I just checked the NASA site...fire is treacherously close to my fishing camp. The owners are great friends and I fear for their camp....

A couple on another forum posted that they just got back from Winnifred and had sone great fishing. Hopefully It will remain untouched! I am anxious to get back up north on June 2nd, making plans for a slip tank and trailer as the closest fuel is 120 miles south , Taking groceries and fridges with us as well . Cat

Just checked the NASA site again and it looks like the fire now east of Ft. McMurray is starting to fizzle out...the rains must have helped enormously...

My brother has been working out of a camp for Finning for the past 10 days helping out while his fiancée has worked out of the office in Edmonton. They are hoping to be allowed back into town this weekend to see what they can do to help friends who have lost everything. Their first priorities will be checking on my brothers truck too see if it survived, it was parked at the airport, and cleaning out the fridge  As Aussie's we know how terrible a bad fire can be and good luck to all as they try and get the town back on its feet.

I guess officially today the evacuees are allowed to start trickling back. Satellite imagery makes it look like my fishing hole and lodge were spared, and I called my fave motel in Ft. McMurray yesterday and somebody answered the phone!

I've been wondering about the fire off and on, but mostly busy with flooding/water rescued related stuff here and simply had not googled info.
Glad to hear it may be showing signs of going out finally.

We got back into town today, and realized very quickly that we never lost power!
Cleaned out the fridge and got stuff settled out, then the kid went to his place.Sometime during our evacuation, the hot water hater decided to crap out, basement flooded, and the rec room is toast - I guess that is why they cal it a "rec" room!!LOL!!
On the upside, no guns got wet, lost only one range bag to mold, and we start to take the carpet out and strip the paneling tomorrow.
Gas is back on at our place, and although we have a boil water advisory, I brought up a half skid of bottled water with us , so we can have coffee any way!
Happy that I am in my own bed tonight, for sure.

Glad to see it all survived and the grass isn't even big enough to be mowed yet!
