Is highway 16 open from Hinton to Edmonton?

[CBoutdoors-vhez]

It's sad that these fires are deliberately started

[melaniebrazeau]

"Wildfire". Is that what they call 'arson' these days?

[melchorita]

Thanks Danielle Smith for being there for Alberta's citizens ❤

[gaslitworldf.melissab]

Why not keep undergrowth to a minimum? It's pretty, but it's fodder for annual or seasonal fires. That's why Australians were burned out a few years ago. They stopped burning the undergrowth out.

Distances between alberta and Vancouver's island is larger then florida's girth😂

[helendong]

Can we make it more preventative and take measures proactively as expense to patrol & control any potential fire is way less than put it off when it gets larger

[Goz_Klahaz]

How are all of these fires even starting? I haven't heard of any lightning, it almost seems as though all of these fires have been ignited as designed IMO

MIKE DEMPSEY is 100% KAREN Notley...for the mess

[crobinson]

Screw any provincial jurisdiction, there should be a massive and immediate national and if needed international response to quickly and safely extinguish these fires. These massive environmental disasters should not go on for days or even weeks they should be dealt with immediately.

Did someone say Looting and Burning. Definitely not your usual suspect.

[chrthewrestler]

Anyone else think prevention of these fires through thermal goggled a.I. Drones? Like upgrade rangers?
I don’t know much, but how horrifying. Glad to see a relief?

Psalm 148:8 Fire and hail, snow and clouds, stormy wind, fulfilling His Word. Lord Jesus Christ is coming soon🙏🏼❤️🕊REPENT, believe in the Gospel, Be Born Again

But they let it go unchecked. Maybe better firefighting techniques could help. Just saying.

[sandramccrone]

how has the Fed gov NOT sent help yet?

[leoncardinal]

How do these fires start? I am ignorant and puzzled.🤔

[bobross]

makes you wonder why HAARP can't step in to help.

[gisellelambert]

Omgoodness. She is having a hard time with her words.
