Good luck with that, doesn't look pretty out there.
Just throwing this out there, any chance this was arson due to the huge decline in house prices up there?
Sig nuked by mod.
It started West of city and wind blew the fire into town as far as I know.Originally posted by adam c

Haha, yeah. I just got the call to stay in Calgary. Apparently the fire is up to the highway in places. For people familiar, apparently the Super 8 and the Shell by the trailer park are gone.Originally posted by BigDL

Sorry to say, but I don't think you'll be getting through there tonight.
Pictures and video from family/ friends are showing a very devastating time in store...
EDIT: You got the call as I was posting. Info I was just given by my cousin is 63 may be closed......Only other way out is north to nowhere...
Had a three day trip planned to site cancelled today. Le' sigh.
Hope everyone and the town is alright, fire doubled in size overnight.
Looks like the morons at Air Canada are still not cancelling their flights into Ft Mac. WestJet has done it already.

Have a few friends up there, not evacuated yet, but they also said the highway south was closed due to fire jumping the road. What a clusterfuck.
If this is any precursor to how the rest of the summer wildfire season is going to go; it's going to be one hell of a summer.

Explosions happening. Gas stations on fire, propane cylinders witnessed shooting through the air
God help them
"The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents... some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new Dark Age."

Sounds like lots of people moving north, hwy is a mess... One buddy is on the side of the road and other is in the emergency ops centre... Cellphones are still working though, so that's good

The people at my site are gassing trucks up, but not really too many places to go to.
