If we put out the fire
The fire wins!

>don't have any left for 80,000 actual citizens in crisis

Should the US accept Canadian refugees from the Great Firestorm of 2016?

thread theme song

Only cute female canadians

I just hope the firefighting crew is 50/50 men and women or there will be hell to pay. Crises like these is a great time for progress.

>slash fire department budget by 85%
>this shitstorm happens not even a week later

1st for Edmonton gets burnt to the fucking ground.

burn the sulphur pyramids!
8 million lbs of sulphur imagine the blaze

Not to scare people but we need to be more concerned with a coming war. When I was growing up in Fort Mc during the 80s, it was still common to be taught fallout and nuclear war safety from a preemptive Soviet strike. Why? Because of the oil production starting to kick off well at that time. I remember being told that a small 1kt bomb could hit Syncrude and put all of the municipality in a disaster not just from nuclear fallout but from all the heavy chemicals that would be kicked up in the wake. Now that the city and basically the whole municipality is evacuated, something could kick off.

Brian for New McMurray leader when?

Also for anyone not up to speed the fire is currently 85,000 hectares(328 square miles) big

>murricans sperging out
>wildfires litteraly every year
Wildfires are dangerous and should be taken seriously. They are quite hard to stop and that can't be done in one minute.
Just shut up, all of you.

This guy again. Why do you post here every thread? What do you have against Edmonton?

Time to work some meme magick, boys.
also take calgary with you

I left the last thread opened on my PC and my mom saw it. Now she's lurking it.

Yeah Calgary is the city that needs burnt

imagine the stench

Take them all, enjoy Matt Damons presidency in 2020

Holy fuck thats funny

Everyone say to Ameribro's Mom.

Hi, Ameribro's Mom!!!

same with a co worker lol walked in suddenly before I could tab out now they won't leave

Fire at lumber mill near High Level contained

Dat ass

Still on evacuation notice though

Tits or GTFO whore

...

He's an imposter and he knows it, I like his taste in which cities need to be destroyed tho

make it happen

Why not ask the Russians and their giant amphibious fire-fighting planes for help?

Major unexpected wind shift in the north. Road evacuation of some northern camps has been canceled.

>Weedman caused the fire by tossing his lit roach in the forest

DUDE WEED

Nigga had a hard life. He lost his son not too long ago (went to same school as him) and now his house and city destroyed.

Dude is like a mix between Bruce Wayne from BvS and Big Boss/Venom Snake

The evacuation order for the residents south of High Level will be lifted effective 12 noon today. Residents will be allowed to return home, however, are asked to remain on “immediate alert” in case the situation changes due to the expected weather conditions. The fire is listed by Alberta Forestry as being held at this time.

I can't imagine any water bombers are operating right now, a waste of fuel.

>Fort McMurray wildfire burning so hot, only weather can stop it

>cbc.ca/news/technology/alberta-wildfire-science-background-1.3565932

cool hope they can get the rest of it under control now

Fire still around Fort McMurray goes north, towards sulphur pyramids. Fire in south east goes towards Nexen Logn Lake Project = immediate upgrade to 10 on the happening scale.

Kek wills it.

...

Brampton user reporting in.

I feel bad for McMurray gun owners who had to leave their restricteds behind

That's going to cost a fuck ton of money in fire fighters and retardant to put out.
Here in the US if you start a forest fire from negligence or because of illegal activity (burning on high risk days, shooting guns, etc) you'll be charged the entire cost they spent to put the fire out.
There's been people slapped with $1m + bills for it.

Canada is using dozens at the moment to fight this fire.

Hot.

We have tons m8

Anyone got a big video compilation of the city burning?

Sup Yuchen

> tfw left ammunition cooks off

I know it won't happen but the thought makes me smile

...

I tried to find the newspaper article that you were referring to but couldn't. You may have been seeing the glow from the slag being poured up behind the West end. It tends to make the whole west side of the horizon glow orange and red on a cloudy night.

By the way you are not alone in this shit city. t. Sudburybro

kek

You think he'll get elected next election?

How far are the pyramids?

Quite a good distance it's not gonna happen

gotta waste some oil to save some oil user!

Feels bad

It will cook off, but it doesn't shoot people since it not in a chamber.

>implying they don't have their own
>implying they wouldn't call the US first

how about this one. She was miss Canada Universe a few years ago. Shes even 100% trump approved

It's more effective to gather up all 35 million of us and piss out the fire.

Last year we sent some to California

What we really need is a B52 full of fire retardant

Type 1 federal fire fighter teams more than likely will be sent there. Type 1 fire fighting teams are always sent to other states when they need backup.
The California type 1 team had to go help clean up after Katrina

Planes are only really useful in areas that are otherwise unreachable but you can't just let it burn for some reason.

I like how fire departments have battalions like it's a fighting force

>Fort McMurray fires knock out third of Canada’s oil capacity and close major pipelines

>business.financialpost.com/news/energy/fort-mcmurray-fires-knock-out-third-of-canadas-oil-capacity-and-close-major-pipelines

never seen gangs of new york?

Yeah all my pipeline holdings dropped today

It's because they're qualified for using different equipment and the higher teams have more experience and are given the more dangerous fires.

I mean, there is a reason we call them fire fighters.

Hang in there. Be sure to do your part tearing down the communist posters on all of our street corners

all the fire brigades fight each other so they get to be the ones to put out the fire and steal everything inside

i'd vote for him. Did'nt really pay attention last election but he seems like a good guy, much better than Notley anyway

we have a similar system here

>type 1's:
Initial Attack, first in, best trained
Unit Crews, first or next in, better trained
>type 2's
private contract crews, backfill/reinforce, trained

I liked this nip's show on Discovery channel years ago but right now he needs to get taken out back and shot.

Help is on the way!

>80k people have lost their homes
>LOL GET FUKD NERDS KARMA

THE FIRE HASNT EVEN STOPPED YET!
DOES THIS FAGGOT HAVE NO SYMPATHY?

>Sporting ammunition fires are noisy, but the projectiles have LOW ENERGY

↵fucking insane
it's even worse now
that's probably all charcoal

...

PRAISE KEK

Preparing sacrifice to Kek. Will sacrifice some pure S tonight on my Bunsen burner in the lab. Post number will indicate the mg used.

...

13 mg, KEK WILLS IT

May the sulfur burn true.

>Fort directly affected the intensity of the fire
Whoa. I could never have figured that out. What an intellectual!

tasty AND timely..thanks Ameribro!

Damn you, you beat me to it.

Those Fallout 5 graphics are amazing.

↵ fucking insane
it's even worse now
that's probably all charcoal

Lol

I think for this fire we need a whole division

...

I love you, dont die

>DOES THIS FAGGOT HAVE NO SYMPATHY?
He's Japanese

>people were unironically saying they deserved it for not driving priuses or for working in oil fields
