Fort McMurray convoys begin as evacuees roll through fire-ravaged city - Edmonton - CBC News
The people who escaped north are now being escorted by RCMP through the town. They will leave in groups of 50 vehicles. Through Ft McMurray there are RCMP vehicles blocking all intersections. No turning off the road to check your property or pick anything up. Everyone must drive straight through. Then, they will be allowed to drive unescorted but are not allowed to stop until they reach Edmonton. There are temporary refuelling stations set up along the route.

I've seen clips of how upset people were yesterday. I hope they follow the rules, otherwise, RCMP may not be able to continue.

...might be able to fold this Thread into the ongoing collective holding of cyberhands in the Godbomb Thread.....
It's just unreal. Looks like a volcano erupted with all that smoke and ash.
Think I might do some the other way around now that this thread has been started as they're more to do with the fire itself.
Fire fighters taking a break after working 30 hours.

Oh dear God - this is awful - healing prayers being sent to all the victims.
staropeace --, or any Canadian......... I have a strange question---- first I must admit I am not familiar with Canadian laws/ rules, so please excuse the ignorance of my question.
Why aren't fire departments from the USA going to help? When there is a disaster in the US, fire companies/ electric companies gather groups and go to where they are most needed. This occurs internationally too. Is there a reason? More airpower that co ordinates with RCMP? Perhaps it is the landscape. Just very curious.

Sometimes they do and maybe later. Mexico helps and send over their firefighters.
I am not seeing any rain in the forecast for the area.
