Look after yourself.

Lets hope it is brought under control quickly.

Down here we are well aware of what an out of control fire is capable of, so hope all goes well with you.

Not nice things fires - we had a big one here that lasted for 69 days or thereabouts 18 months ago.

Now it is a recent memory just like yours will be soon. Keep that in mind even during the most anxious times.

Don't just dwell on the destruction and fear but look for the good things - the comradeship, the amusing little things and the lucky things and you'll get by with flying colours.

We are thinking of you.

Good on you John... take care mate fires are shytes of things... takes angels with muscles and fearless hearts to fight the things... just do what they say and stay safe mate

Thanks for all the kind and caring words from all of you, that is what makes a strong community, I have found this site to have a very strong community. I thank you for making me feel part of it.

As of 3:00pm atlantic, the fire is still out of control. 2 confirmed lost houses and 5 with damage.

The start of the fire was about 8 km from me, but with the wind direction it blew away from the rural area. I guess you could say a lucky wind for some.

We now have 5 aircraft and 155 firefighters. The winds have dropped and the fire is burning up instead of spreading out. So there is some good news.

I will send a couple of more photos.

Thank
John

The second is of a small community called Minesville, not looking healthy there.
The first is an aerial view of the fire, it seems it is taking alot of shrub.

Extreme weather everywhere!. Just watching footage of flooding down in Iowa, while Canada is cooking!

I hope your guys get the fire under control soon. Although we have fairly regular bad bush fires here, they don't do as much permanent damage as Canadian Wildfires. Eucalypts survive a fire whereas the softwoods just become more firewood.

Take care.

Welcome from Michigan! Just to let you know, We are thinking of you who live over there,We are praying for all who are going through this. We can't imagine what the feeling must be like, but stay strong and take care.
