We're in this for the long haul. I was involved through work with the rebuild of Slave Lake, this will take years, but it can and will be done.
My brother was in a convoy of fire fighters that went up yesterday afternoon from Red Deer in four trucks. They made it to Fort Mac in less than 6 hours and fought fires till 4:30am. Last I heard they were resting and getting ready to go back at it again.
I'm waiting on a few phone calls but it looks like we'll be housing some evacuees here in Calgary from one of the Firebag evac flights.
Very nice to see all the continued assistance.
