Pets in the Fort McMurray fire

[Catherine]

The forest devastation is unimaginable. They couldn't stop a fire like that. They did save most of Fort McMurray. It wasn't easy, but most homes and public buildings were saved.

I hope that means most pets were saved. I haven't heard about wildlife. There will have been losses. Many animals couldn't have outrun the fire.

This is yet another product of climate change. The forests are very dry and once they start burning it is hard to contain the fire.

There is another  fire on the Manitoba/ Ontario border. I hope it doesn't spread like the Alberta fire. Far too much wildlife is lost when there is a wildfire.
