The comments on this video are fucking atrocious.... As a Canadian I'm upset at the amount of people being SO rude and ignorant to what is actually happening. And the Americans who comment "It's because of *insert any minority here*" should get their heads straight. Grow up people.

80 thousand people used to live here, now it's just a toast town

At 3:21 I used to live in a house on that street last year, thank god I moved out in time. I am so sorry for all of the families who lost their homes..

[Daniel-uvbr]

I'm an Alberta resident and know people who lived in Fort McMurray this coverage is truly appreciated

[Azivegu]

my heart goes out to the people who had to leave everything behind and my best wishes to everyone working to restore some semblance of normality again.

Now the city can make back the money by renting it to film makers for authentic post apocalyptic scenes

Liked for the quality production of video. Obviously I hate the destruction that the fire has caused. Heartbreaking for all the people who lost everything, and nature with all the environment burnt. So much suffering. So much courage by all who are doing their best to tackle the fire.

let's unite & send prayers up for these families! this is so sad! it's a terrible feeling when you lose everything in a fire and don't have anything to go home to. is there a place we can donate or send care packages with essentials, such as toothbrushes, toothpaste, etc..?

[notthatdonald]

of all the available videos yours is quite impressive, I fought wild fires on Long Island 15k acres which were scary, we lost homes but this one was unreal, thank you

[kahanquanic]

80.000 people used to live here, now its a ghost town..

[devilsdance]

A very sad occurrence I hope the very best for the men and women continually fighting this and for those this may affect in the future.

SOLUTIONS:
1. Concrete Dome Homes.
2. Having Farmland Surrounding the city to create a buffer from forest fires.
3. Move to another location where they have jobs and no threat of forest fire.

And the horrors continue this year in Alberta. My family has evacuated from Drayton Valley to Edmonton. I hope the house is still standing.

[zico]
