All the best to those who are affected. Stay strong and safe!

Most of the summer has been rainy, yet there are "wildfires" everywhere.... And NOBODY thinks that's strange??

[charlesskinner]

fire breaks should have been in the plans for years to save these forests and the lumber from these breaks could have been used for housing instead of being burnt..wasted lumber...build breaks so it does not all burn

Make shore the water of the town is not shut off .. like Maui Hawaii

Yellowknife is truly blessed to have such great mayor hold on and stay strong.

Who is responsible for arson investigation?

[mackenzie]

All by design. No real world could produce this much devastation. I think we need to start looking at the hidden hand.

Strange how it isn't moist with all this DEW in the air

[Megafoot]

Stay safe, stay strong, but most of all stay alive. 🕯

Maui also the fire hydrants zero water pressure.

Makes one wonder why these massive fires keep happening.

Maybe the government should stop setting them one fire is a coincidence several fires around the globe at the same time is strategic

[baseline]

Well if the government would stop setting these fires maybe we would not have so much

[Goosecanoe]

I wonder if the Alaskan HAARP facility was affected

[lindamateri]

The loss of the forest and all of the wildlife is sickening, , my son was atFort Mac when so much of it was destroyed

[fredflintstone]

Why are the exurbs burning with wild fires so often lately?

I don't want to hear anything about climate change. Seriously, I'm sick and tired of that religious evangelism.

[tomhamilton]

Is this the work of the same climate alarmist arsonists as we had in Alberta?

[شهابابو-شس]

I hope this fire destroyed Harppr system
