Canadian Wildfires Close Highways, Cut Power

longknife · Apr 20, 2016

Major events and we hear more about what's happening in the Middle East than with our neighbor to the north.

Officials say 37 new wildfires started last night, some believed to have been set intentionally

"We've got 21 fires in the Fort St. John zone, and 16 fires currently in the Dawson Creek zone," said Prince George Fire Centre information officer Amanda Reynolds. "Crews are heading out to those fires this morning."

I do suspect that a general global warming trend is to some degree playing a role in this.

AboveAlpha did an amazing job of explaining how the climate will probably soon be altered.

Here in lies the problem and if you want to learn more run a search on this.....CDIAC.....CARBON DIOXIDE INFORMATION ANALYSIS CENTER.

The CDIAC is a part of the U.S. DOE...DEPT. OF ENERGY'S OFFICE OF SCIENCE at Oak Ridge National Labs.

If you watch the top of the web page there is a chart and every 20 to 30 seconds or so the CHART CHANGES and will give you the WORLD'S MOST ACCURATE AND UNBIASED DATA concerning CO2, CH4...which is METHANE which exists at the bottom of all Earth's Ocean's Arctic Lakes and within Permafrost and Tundra and CH4 holds in HEAT in our Atmosphere at a rate of approx.71 TIMES GREATER THAN CO2

The CH4 at the bottom of the Oceans and in Permafrost and Arctic Lakes exists as CH4 GEL or Methane Gel.

The Human generated emmisions of CO2 have warmed up the Earth's Ocean's and thus Air to a point that is CAUSING THE GEL FORM CH4 TO BUBBLE UP AND OUT INTO OUR ATMOSPHERE AS METHANE GAS!!!

This is how DIRE the problem is....the U.S. DOE's Office of Science's CDIAC is the ONLY DATA the U.S. Military considers to be trustworthy and viable thus this data is imputted into either Banked and Networked IBM Supercomputers or is imputted into the U.S. Military's new QUANTUM COMPUTERS for ONE SOLE PURPOSE!!!

That purpose is TO PLAN FOR THE EVENTUALITY OF WORLDWIDE WAR OVER RESOURCES!!!

What is going to happen and NOT MAYBE HAPPEN but WILL HAPPEN is this......when too much FRSH WATER is dumped into the NORTH ATLANTIC CURRENT or GULF STREAM which is a OCEAN WATER HEAT EXCHANGE SYSTEM.....as Warm Gulf of Mexico Water in a very strong current flows around the tip of Florida and up North up the East Coast and then angles across the Atlantic Ocean to the British Isles...which is by the U.K. which is further North than Massachusetts has much milder winters......

.....well the WARM WATER is LIGHTER and travels upon the top of the bottom COLD WATER THERMOCLINE....which is the COLD WATER flowing from the Arctic Ocean around Greenland and above the U.K. as this colder heavier water flows underneither the warmer lighter water coming up from the Gulf of Mexico......

......well there will come a day....SOON.....when the Earth has warmed up just a single degree to much and this will cause so much Polar and Greenland FRESH WATER ICE MELT....as the ICE that covers Greenland and the North Polar Arctic Ocean is FRESH WATER.....and because it is FRESH WATER....IT IS LIGHTER THAN OCEAN SALT WATER........

.......because of this when too much LIGHTER FRESH WATER MELTS AND IS DUMPED INTO THE NORTH ATLANTIC....as it is cold water but NOT SALT WATER....IT WILL WEIGH ROUGHLY ABOUT THE SAME WEIGHT AS THE WARM SALT WATER THAT IS FLOWING UP FROM THE GULF OF MEXICO AROUND THE TIP OF FLORIDA AND UP NORTH AND ACROSS THE ATLANTIC.

When this happens the Cold but FRESH WATER melted from Global Warming will STALL THE WARM SALT WATER TRAVELING NORTH FROM THE GULF OF MEXICO.

Thus warm water will stop flowing NORTH and the COLD WATER will STOP FLOWING SOUTH....as the COLD WATER will reach a point of desalinization so that it weighs the same as the WARM SALT WATER TRYING TO TRAVEL NORTH.

This will STALL THE NORTH ATLANTIC CURRENT'S HEAT TRANSFER SYSTEM!!!

And GUESS what happens next??

Have you ever watched the movie THE DAY AFTER TOMMORROW????

If you have....then you understand.

Convoy gets out of fire zone...

Convoy leads Canada fire evacuees through burning city to safety
Fri May 6, 2016 - Alberta Convoys of evacuees stranded by a wildfire raging in and around the Canadian oil town of Fort McMurray made their way on Friday through the heart of the devastation on the only highway out of the region, as officials warned that the blaze could soon double in size.

Wind-whipped flames roaring through forests and brush parched by a spring heat wave have engulfed nearly 250,000 acres (101,000 hectares) in western Canada's energy heartland since erupting on Sunday. The blaze, the largest of 40 wildfires burning across the province of Alberta, has forced some 88,000 residents, the entire population of Fort McMurray, to flee for safety, and has threatened two oil sands production sites south of the city. At least 10 oil sand operators have cut production due to evacuations and other emergency measures that complicated delivery of petroleum by rail, pipeline and highway.

With winds on Friday pushing the fire's leading edge to the northeast, away from town and into open timber, authorities said the blaze was expected to rapidly expand its footprint even as the threat to populated areas waned. Chad Morrison, an official with the Alberta government wildfire unit, told reporters in the provincial capital Edmonton, about 270 miles (430 km) to the south, the blaze was likely to double in size by late on Saturday, the end of its first week. The full extent of property losses in Fort McMurray, has yet to be determined, but authorities said some 1,600 structures were believed to have been destroyed. One analyst estimated insurance losses could exceed C$9 billion ($7 billion).

Flames rise in Industrial area south Fort McMurray, Alberta Canada May 3, 2016.

Earlier in the week most evacuees headed south by car on Alberta Highway 63, the only land route out of the area, in a slow-moving exodus that left many temporarily stranded on the roadside as they ran out of gasoline. But other residents who initially sought shelter in oil camps and settlements north of the city found themselves cut off in overcrowded conditions. They were forced on Friday to retrace their route back through Fort McMurray on Highway 63 as flames continued to spread. With parts of the city still in flames, evacuees in some 1,500 vehicles began making the 30-mile (50-km) trip at 4 a.m. in groups of 50 cars.

Something astonishing about this wildfire is how fast it has grown.......

I believe it was Wednesday, May 4 it was up to around 75 square kilometers.....
by Thursday it was over 800 square kms!

This fire cannot be put out by water bombers or the best technology that we have available to us at this time.......

Albertans have to wait until this burns out..... or heavy rains stop it!

Fire 'destroys 20%' of Fort McMurray...

Canadians drive through burning city seeking safety
Saturday 7th May, 2016 - Canadian police led convoys of cars through the burning ghost town of Fort McMurray on Friday in a risky operation to get thousands of people to safety on the other side.

In the latest harrowing chapter of the drama triggered by monster forest fires in Alberta's oil sands region, the convoys of 50 cars at a time made their way through the city at about 50-60km/h, TV footage showed. Police took up positions at intersections along the way to keep people from detouring to try to salvage belongings from charred homes and make sure the route remains safe from the fire, which has encircled the town of 100 000, now evacuated. Three army helicopters hovered above to sound the alert if the flames get too close to the road, Highway 63, or cut it off completely, as has happened in recent days. The people being evacuated - for a second time, after first abandoning their homes - had fled this week to an area north of the city where oil companies have lodging camps for workers.

But officials concluded they were no longer safe there because of shifting winds that raised the risk of them becoming trapped, and needed to move south to other evacuee staging grounds and eventually to Edmonton, 400km to the south. About 8 000 people were airlifted out of the northern enclave on Thursday on helicopters and planes. The road convoys are for the remaining 17 000. Before they got under way officials had to make sure the escape route was passable, and truck fuel in so people had gas to make it across a city in flames. Television footage earlier this week showed trees ablaze on the edge of highways crowded with bumper-to-bumper traffic trying to leave town as billowing black smoke darkened the sky. Bright embers whizzed wildly through the air and floated down onto cars, like hot, orange rain.

Real rain is not expected for a couple of days. "We understand that this is still an active situation. The wildfires are still raging," Prime Minister Justin Trudeau told a press conference on Friday. "It's likely going to be several weeks before the situation stabilises," Royal Canadian Mounted Police Inspector Garrett Woolsey said. Displaced people are finding shelter with friends, family and even strangers close to Fort McMurray, but also as far away as Edmonton and Calgary, Trudeau said. The government has declared a state of emergency in Alberta, that is home to one of the world's most prodigious oil industries. The flight from Fort McMurray began in earnest shortly before midnight on Tuesday after a mandatory evacuation order.

Alberta has been left bone-dry after a period of unusually scant rainfall and unseasonably high temperatures. More than 1 100 firefighters are battling 49 separate blazes across the province - seven of them totally out of control. The fires have engulfed 100 000ha of forest, including at least 12 000 in the area surrounding Fort McMurray, now the epicentre of the inferno, where 2 000 homes have been destroyed. Oil companies crucial to the region such as Suncor, Syncrude and Shell have pulled out non-essential employees, and all three have slashed output. Alberta Premier Rachel Notley said on Thursday that people evacuated from the city face a long wait to return home. "I must be very, very direct about this," she said. "It is apparent that the damage to the community in Fort McMurray is extensive, and the city is not safe for residents at this time."

Canada wildfire: 20% of Fort McMurray homes destroyed, says MP
Sun, 08 May 2016 - The MP from Fort McMurray, a Canadian city devastated by a huge wildfire, tells the BBC about 20% of homes there have been destroyed.

About a fifth of homes have been destroyed in Fort McMurray, a Canadian city ravaged by a huge wildfire, the local MP has told the BBC. After touring the damage David Yurdiga said it might be years before the city was running normally again. More than 100,000 residents of the city and surrounding area fled after an evacuation order was issued. Officials say the fire, now burning for a week, grew more slowly at the weekend than first feared. Firefighters held key areas and the blaze now covers about 1,610 sq km (620 sq miles) - less than the 1,800 sq km (700 sq miles) estimated on Saturday.

Mr Yurdiga said while most of the city was intact the area was still too dangerous for residents to return home. "An estimate: 20% of the homes have been burnt, but the majority of homes are standing, no damage at all," Mr Yurdiga said. "So you know what? It's a lot better than I thought it was." On Sunday, fire chiefs spoke of getting a "death grip" on the fire, which has been fed by hot weather and tinder dry terrain. "With a little help from mother nature and a bit of a break in the weather, and all the hard work of all the firefighters we were able to hold most of the line in Fort McMurray," said Chad Morrison from Alberta wildfire.

But it could be months before the fire is fully brought under control. Officials warned only significant rainfall could fully halt its spread. The fire is being blown east away from communities, but still threatens to cross from Alberta province into neighbouring Saskatchewan. Air quality warnings have been issued for Saskatchewan and Northwest Territories, with locals advised to close windows and doors due to smoke. The final evacuations of 25,000 people who headed north from Fort McMurray after the blaze began was completed on Sunday. Schools in the provincial capital Edmonton are arranging for displaced families to send their children to local schools from Monday.

No deaths or injuries have been reported from the fire, but two people died in traffic accidents during the mass evacuation. The fire is expected to be the most expensive natural disaster in Canadian history, with insurance costs alone already running into billions of dollars. Fort McMurray is in the heart of Canada's oil sands country, and the region has the world's third-largest reserves of oil. Workers at major oil companies have also been evacuated. As much as a quarter of the country's oil production has been halted by the fire, raising concerns about the effect on the Canadian economy.

Mebbe the firefighters gettin' a break...

Canada Reaches Turning Point in Combating Wildfire
May 09, 2016 - Canadian officials say they have reached a turning point in combating the huge wildfire that has destroyed a large area of the province of Alberta in western Canada.

Cooler temperatures and light rain in the region have made for "great firefighting weather," said Chad Morrison, an Alberta fire official. "We can really get in there and really get a handle on this fire and really get a death grip on it." While the flames so far have not reached any major oil processing facilities, they remain closed and global oil prices have soared over concerns about the Canadian fires. It is not immediately clear when processing facilities will open. Many oil workers have been evacuated and are camped out with their families.

Facilities closed for weeks

Mark Routt, chief economist for the Americas at KBC Advanced Technologies in Houston, told Reuters, "When you have an operator and his family needs to be evacuated, the plant may be in good shape, but what is the operator going to do?" Routt estimates oil production will be shut down for at least two or three weeks. Alberta is home to the world's third-largest oil reserves, behind Saudi Arabia and Venezuela. Alberta Premier Rachel Notley noted the fires are a lot smaller than what authorities believed they were, but still have destroyed 160,000 hectares. Notley said experts anticipated the flames would have doubled in size by Sunday, but have instead grown very slowly.

Hundreds of firefighters

The fires also have not crossed the border into neighboring Saskatchewan, as was feared. At least 1,500 firefighters are working to prevent the fire from spreading. Nearly 90,000 people in the city of Fort McMurray grabbed what few belongings they could and fled when the fire started. David Yurdigan, a lawmaker, visited Fort McMurray Sunday and said afterwards he is more optimistic than he had been. "I toured probably every neighborhood in Fort McMurray and 80 percent of the homes are standing," Yurdigan said. "Some areas you don't even know there was a fire."

Fort McMurray wildfire slows slightly as it nears Saskatchewan
May 8, 2016 -- The massive wildfire that has displaced 90,000 people in Alberta Province the past seven days was moving more slowly Sunday as it headed in the direction of Saskatchewan Province.

But Alberta Premier Rachel Notley says with low humidity and high temperatures and gusty winds, conditions are still extreme. The fire was 25 miles from Saskatchewan Province. She also lowered the reported size of the devastated area from 494,000 acres -- three times the size of Edmonton -- to 98,326 acres. The fire has consumed more than 1,600 homes and buildings. "We may be turning a corner but its too early to celebrate," said Ralph Goodale, federal minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness. "This beast is an extraordinarily difficult problem."

Chad Morrison, senior wildlife manager for Alberta, expects to be fighting the fire for "days to come" unless the region receives at least 4 inches of rain. Matthew Anderson, wildfire information officer with Alberta Agriculture, told CBC News conditions will vary the next several days. "We do have some difficult weather, some interesting weather, coming up," he said. "There's another cold front coming through and ahead of that front it's going to be very gusty." More than 500 firefighters were working to contain the fire with 15 helicopters and 14 air tankers.

The firefighters are concentrating on saving infrastructure. Notley said late Saturday much of Fort McMurray was without electricity or drinkable water. "There's a great deal of hazardous material to be cleaned up and many other things to be done before the city is safe for families to go home," she said. Rescue crews and police say it will be several days before workers can clear debris and residents an move back to their homes if they are spared.

Fire trucks drive toward smoke from a wildfire near Fort McMurray, Alberta, Canada, May 8, 2016. Officials said Sunday they were hoping to get a “death grip” on the blaze amid cooler temperatures.

Alberta fire official Chad Morrison said the much cooler weather is great for firefighting and can give firefighters the chance to put the flames in what he called "a death grip." As of midday Sunday local time, 161,000 hectares in northern Alberta were still burning, and thousands of people had sought safety in emergency shelters.

Fort McMurray saved from worst of wildfire...

Alberta PM says Fort McMurray saved from worst of wildfire
May 9,`16 -- At least two neighborhoods in this oil sands city were scenes of utter devastation with incinerated homes leveled to the ground from a wildfire that Fort McMurray's fire chief called a "beast ... a fire like I've never seen in my life."

But the wider picture was more optimistic as Fire Chief Darby Allen said 85 percent of Canada's main oil sands city remains intact, including the downtown district. Alberta's premier declared the city had been saved, adding that officials hope to provide a schedule within two weeks for thousands of evacuated residents to begin returning to their homes. Alberta Premier Rachel Notley said about 2,400 homes and buildings were destroyed in the city, but firefighters managed to save 25,000 others, including the hospital, municipal buildings and every functioning school. "This city was surrounded by an ocean of fire only a few days ago but Fort McMurray and the surrounding communities have been saved and they will be rebuilt," Notley said.

Alberta Premier Rachel Notley speaks to members of the media at a fire station in Fort McMurray, Alberta, Monday, May 9, 2016. A break in the weather has officials optimistic they have reached a turning point on getting a handle on the massive wildfire

Notley got her first direct look at the devastation in Fort McMurray on Monday after cold temperatures and light rain had stabilized the massive wildfire to a point where officials could begin planning to get thousands of evacuated residents back. The break in the weather left officials optimistic they've reached a turning point on getting a handle on the massive wildfire. The temperature dipped to 45 degrees Fahrenheit (7 degrees Celsius) on Monday following a week where the region had unseasonably warm temperatures. Notley flew in Monday morning to meet with local officials and took a ground tour of the town before holding a news conference at the emergency center. "I was very much struck by the devastation of the fire. It was really quite overwhelming in some spots," Notley said. "But I will also say that I was struck by the proximity of that devastation to neighborhoods that were untouched."

More than 40 journalists were allowed into Fort McMurray on a bus escorted by police. The forest surrounding the road into town was still smoldering and there were abandoned cars. Only the sign remained at a Super 8 Motel and Denny's restaurant on the edge of town. The Beacon Hill neighborhood was a scene of utter devastation with homes burned down to their foundation. Allen said at one point the fire jumped across a road in Beacon Hill that is 15 to 20 feet (4.5 to 6 meters) wide. "It jumped that without thinking about it. This was a beast. It was an animal. It was a fire like I've never seen in my life," he said on the media bus. In the early stages of the fire he feared that as much as half the city could burn down "I just want to let the people know that we're in pretty good shape," he said. "Typical of the damaged areas you'll see structures that are completely gone and structures that are intact."

James Taylor to donate money to fire-ravaged Fort McMurray
May. 9, 2016 - James Taylor is using his music to help people evacuated from a huge wildfire in Canada.

The "Carolina in My Mind" singer has turned two Alberta concerts next month into benefits. Proceeds from tickets to his shows in Calgary on June 7 and Edmonton on June 8 will be donated to the Canadian Red Cross to help victims of what Taylor says is a major national catastrophe that's just impossible to ignore. "It's really a part of human nature to respond to things like this by wanting to lend a hand if you can. You'd like to feel as though people would be there for you if you were in a similar situation," Taylor told The Associated Press by phone on Monday.

Singer-songwriter James Taylor performs in concert at the Giant Center in Hershey, Pa. Taylor is using his music to help people evacuated from a huge wildfire in Canada. The Carolina in My Mind'' singer has made two Alberta concerts next month into benefits. He says proceeds from tickets to his shows in Calgary on June 7, 2016, and Edmonton on June 8 will be donated to the Canadian Red Cross.

Taylor says the idea came from conversations with his Canadian manager Sam Feldman as he arrived for a 15-concert tour of Canadian cities over the next month. He said the two shows would raise "at least a quarter of a million, maybe a $100,000 more than that." "Live Nation are donating their portion of the show ... the two buildings that the shows are in are donating their part to it," Taylor added. "It's building some momentum and we hope it encourages other people to volunteer." More than 80,000 residents of Fort McMurray have been displaced by the fires, which began last week. Taylor has frequently participated in fundraising events.

Coping with fiery devastation...

Mixture of loss, hope for Canadian town hit by wildfire
May 10,`16 -- Charred bicycles lean on a fence in front of incinerated townhomes. Just across the street, a school and playground are untouched.

Across this Canadian oil sand town, the contrast is repeated: neighborhoods that burned to their foundations, while other neighborhoods, strip malls, car dealerships, schools and hospitals are still standing. Nearly a week after people started evacuating Fort McMurray as a massive wildfire surrounded them, more than 40 journalists were allowed into the city Monday on a bus escorted by police, as the forest surrounding the road into town still smoldered. The first neighborhood seen, Beacon Hill, was an example of the worst a fire can do. At one lot, a barbecue sat in the driveway, a few feet away from a charred pickup truck, its wheels melted into the ground, the debris surrounding them the scattered components of what was once a house.

Lot by lot the scene was repeated: homes burned to their foundation and reduced to rubble. A short drive away, nearly an entire trailer park community burned to the ground, the exception a single line of homes in the last row. Fort McMurray Fire Chief Darby Allen said that he knew residents were likely watching media reports to find out the status of their neighborhoods. He briefly choked up while saying he wanted them to know that emergency responders "gave their all." "We did our very best," he said. Even with all of the personal loss, nearly 90 percent of the city is still standing, including the downtown district. Allen said that the fire got as close as the corner of a bank, but firefighters were able to fight back the flames. If that had not been successful, he said, downtown would have been lost.

Alberta Premier Rachel Notley said Tuesday that the massive oil sands mines north of Fort McMurray have not been damaged. She said most of the oil sands industry has stopped production and will only start back up when it is "absolutely safe" but that should happen soon. She met Tuesday in Edmonton, Alberta, with oil sands industry officials to discuss the impact of the wildfire. After touring Fort McMurray on Monday, Notley said about 2,400 homes and buildings were destroyed in the city, but firefighters managed to save 25,000 others, including the hospital, municipal buildings and every functioning school. Fort McMurray "is a home you are going to return to," she promised residents at a news conference Monday. Those 80,000 residents are scattered throughout the province, some staying at evacuation centers, others with family and friends.

Most of Canada's oil sands production shut down by wildfire
May 10,`16 -- The majority of Canada's oil sands industry has stopped production and will only start back up when it is "absolutely safe" but that should happen soon, Alberta's premier said Tuesday after meeting with company officials to discuss the impact of the massive wildfire that destroyed more than 10 percent of the homes and buildings in Canada's main oil sands city.

Suncor chief executive Steve Williams, the head of Canada's largest oil company, said about a million barrels a day went offline but said some of that has already started to come back. Alberta Premier Rachel Notley said the massive oil sands mines north of Fort McMurray have not been damaged. Shell Canada said it had resumed production at its Albian Sands mining operations but at a reduced rate after a seven-day closure.

The wildfire that broke out a week ago has forced as much as a third of Canada's oil output offline and was expected to impact an economy already hurt by the fall in oil prices. Alberta's oil sands have the third-largest reserves of oil in the world behind Saudi Arabia and Venezuela. Its workers largely live in Fort McMurray, a former frontier outpost-turned-city whose residents come from all over Canada.

Notley said getting pipelines and electricity operational are priorities. She said getting production back online will be a matter of "days and short weeks." "The majority of production has stopped, certainly not all of it, but the majority. If that were to continue for a month or two you would start to see measurable outcomes to our GDP," Notley said. Notley said the halted production affects the livelihood of thousands of Canadians, with both companies and the government losing revenue. She said the main highway into Fort McMurray and to the mines to the north has been reopened for oil workers but they are not allowed to visit the city.

Officials said 85 to 90 percent of Fort McMurray remains intact, including the downtown district. About 2,400 homes and buildings were destroyed, but officials said firefighters saved 25,000 others in the city, including the hospital, municipal buildings and every functioning school. A plan is being put together within two weeks so most of the 88,000 evacuees can return to their homes. The fire continues to grow outside the city in Alberta's vast boreal forest after merging with another one and now is about 884 square miles (2,090 square kilometers) in size. That includes areas already burned and currently burning.

Unusable donations flood Canada's wildfire efforts
May 12, 2016 -- An outpouring of donated items is becoming a burden to relief workers dealing with the Canadian wildfire because they are unusable.

People are donating things such as used clothes, children's toys and old shoes. They aren't going to victims and instead are taking up space in an Edmonton warehouse. "We have items that are dirty or things that are just not usable at this time," volunteer coordinator Marissa McNabb told CTV Edmonton. "We have to see if it's in a state that we can actually get it donated. If not, then we do have to find a way to get rid of it."

In 2011, a massive fire triggered donated iterms that ended up in a Calgary landfill. "Most donations are really a great thing. But donations that are not needed are not cool because they pile up at ports and airports and parking lots ... and usually the people who move them are relief workers," said Juanita Rilling, director of the U.S. Center for International Disaster Information. The Edmonton Emergency Relief Services Society says it specifically needs medication, new pillows and new blankets.

The Canadian Red Cross said monetary donations are the best way to support the relief efforts. As of Wednesday, the organization had collected $52.11 million. The Red Cross, which had registered 80,000 people, plans to give $600 to each adult and $300 to each child that evacuated. Also the federal government will give adults $1,250 each and children under the age of 18 will get $500 on debit cards.

Four distribution centers were set up across Alberta Province, and officials expect long lines. "Be assured that the funding will not run out," Premier Rachel Notley said at a news conference Wednesday. "There are enough debit cards for every eligible evacuee." More than 90,000 people were evacuated on May 3. The Fort McMurray wildfire covered approximately 566,000 acres by Wednesday night and was less than 20 miles from the Saskatchewan border. More oil plants in the area were returning to normal after a one-week shutdown.

Canada oil workers flee wildfire...

Canada wildfire: Oil workers evacuate camps near Fort McMurray
Tue, 17 May 2016 - Hundreds of oil sands workers are ordered to evacuate camps near the Canadian town of Fort McMurray as a resurgent wildfire advances towards them.

Alberta State Premier Rachel Notley said up to 600 workers were being sent to oil sands installations further north. About 4,000 more workers are on standby to evacuate if necessary. More than 80,000 people fled Fort McMurray two weeks ago when a wildfire swept through the town. The vast fire moved away but in recent days it has started to threaten the area again. On Monday, a wildfire was travelling at 30-40 metres per minute north of Fort McMurray, a statement from the municipality of Wood Buffalo said. All northbound traffic had been stopped at the city, it added.

Fire damage in Fort McMurray, Alberta, Canada

Hundreds of workers in the camps closest to the flames have been ordered to move away while thousands more were put on standby. There are 12 oil sands camps in the area. Thick smoke and ash over a wide area are said to be hampering the fire-fighting operation and hot-dry winds have been fanning the flames. Fire crews were also trying to control a blaze south-east of Fort McMurray that is threatening an oil installation.

Canadian Finance Minister Bill Morneau told CBC News that the cost of the disaster was still being evaluated. "We're obviously going to stand shoulder to shoulder with the people in Fort McMurray and rebuild the city," he said. More than 2,400 buildings have been destroyed in Fort McMurray and thousands of evacuated residents continue to live in temporary shelters. Officials say they hope a plan will be ready within two weeks to return residents to their homes. The wildfire still covers about 2,410 sq km (930 sq miles) and is expected to burn for a few more weeks.

'Perfect storm' of El Niño and warming boosted Alberta fires
El Niño and ongoing climate change have both contributed to the devastating Alberta wildfires according to experts.

The weather phenomenon has caused much drier conditions than normal, leading to a massive increase in the number of fires in the province. Alberta has had 330 wildfires already this year, more than double the recent annual average. Global warming has also seen wildfire seasons lengthen considerably since 1979, according to studies.

Dry winter

Alberta and much of western Canada experienced a serious drought last year. So great was the impact on farmers, the province declared an agricultural emergency. The dry conditions continued through the winter with the western part of Canada then feeling the impact of El Niño. Scientists say the current El Niño event is one of the strongest on record, with the effects felt all over the world including a reduced monsoon in India and droughts in parts of Africa. "We've had an incredibly dry winter, we didn't have enough snow pack," said Prof Judith Kulig from the University of Lethbridge in Alberta, who believes a "perfect storm" of factors, including El Niño, has come together to cause the huge fire. "This year the fire season officially began March 1st, last year it was March 15th. These are significant changes when the fire season used to begin in May and now begins in March." That fingerprint of El Niño saw Fort McMurray record a temperature of 32.6C earlier this week, which is significantly above the normal high temperature for early May of around 14C.

Not local but global

Many researchers believe that El Niño was not the only factor increasing the likelihood of a major fire in Alberta. They point to the bigger global picture of rising temperatures, which in the first four months of this year are running more than 1C above the long-term average. In January a Canadian study suggested that warming would lead to a "higher frequency of extreme fire weather days" across the country. The author of that paper, Dr Mike Flannigan from the University of Alberta, seems in little doubt that climate change was at least partly responsible for the outbreak around Fort McMurray. "This is consistent with what we expect from human-caused climate change affecting our fire regime," he told reporters.

A number of research papers have highlighted the fact that warming is leading to an increase in wildfire risk. Studies have also shown that northern latitudes are feeling those impacts more strongly. "Some of the changes can be ascribed to improvements in reporting but there are datasets which show the fire season has lengthened," said Prof Martin Wooster, from King's College London and NERC National Centre for Earth Observation. "There have been papers that have shown that not only in theory the conditions are there for longer, but also the actual area of burn has increased over the past half century." "That sort of thing is more likely to be able to be said in Canada than in other places."

One factor that is often overlooked in the race to discover the causes of natural disasters is demography. Just before the last major El Niño in 1997, the population of Fort McMurray was just over 30,000. The last census indicated it was over 60,000. More people means not just a greater impact when fires occur, it also suggests the chances of one starting are increased. "There is this thing called the wild land urban interface, which is where people's homes get increasingly close to environments still undeveloped - and fire is able to come out of these 'natural' areas," Prof Wooster said. "And if you get more people you are more likely to get ignitions."

Alberta wildfire continues its destruction...

Alberta wildfire destroys oil sands work camp as thousands of staff evacuated
Tuesday 17 May 2016 - Situation worsens for oil production sites north of Fort McMurray, while explosions in city itself highlight uncertainty over when it will be safe to return

The wildfire raging through northern Alberta has swelled in size and surged north of Fort McMurray, consuming an evacuated oil sands camp on Tuesday and threatening several other facilities in the region. “It continues to burn out of control,” said Rachel Notley, the Alberta premier, one day after the shifting fire forced the evacuation of 8,000 non-essential staff from more than a dozen camps and sites in the oil sands region. Tinder-dry conditions and temperatures in the mid-20s Celsius helped fuel the wildfire’s growth to 355,000 hectares on Tuesday – a significant jump from 285,000 hectares one day earlier. “Mother nature continues to be our foe in this regard and not our friend,” Notley said. Winds pushed the fire into an area dotted with oil sands work camps, completely destroying a 665-bed camp belonging to Horizon North Logistics just hours after the area was ordered evacuated. The company said every staff member was safe and accounted for.

Two nearby camps for oil sands workers – the 3,700-room Noralta Lodge and 360-room Birch Creek – were being carefully monitored as the flames approached. “We expect fire growth in the area of many of these camps today,” Notley said. Winds were expected to shift the fire east towards the Syncrude and Suncor Energy oil sands facilities. Officials described both facilities as resilient to the risk of fire, pointing to the wide firebreaks surrounding both sites and their private crews of highly trained firefighters. Suncor said on Tuesday that it had begun shuttering its base plant operations as a precautionary measure. Hot spots continued to flare in the city of Fort McMurray – the oil sands hub ordered evacuated two weeks ago as flames flickered in the trees on its outskirts. More than 88,000 people hurriedly fled, with many of them now scattered across Alberta and the rest of the country.

Plans to allow evacuees to return to were being challenged by the continued threat of the fire as well as the heavy blanket of smoke that stubbornly hovers in the region. On Monday the air quality index, normally measured on a scale of 1 to 10, had soared to 38. By Tuesday it had dropped to 13 but officials warned it would likely rise again and hamper recovery efforts in the city. Notley said she hoped to offer residents – who are now entering their third week since being evacuated – a tentative timeline on re-entry later in the week. Safety remains the primary concern, with two separate explosions igniting fires and damaging roughly 10 homes on Tuesday. The cause of the explosions was under investigation. “When you start turning on a switch ... in a city of 90,000 people, sometimes stuff happens,” said Notley. “What those two incidents last night demonstrated to us is that’s the right way to go, that we need to make sure we’ve got everything cued up before people come back in because we want to make sure it’s safe.”

The fire cut a path of destruction through Fort McMurray, destroying entire neighbourhoods but mostly sparing critical infrastructure like the hospital, water treatment plant and airport. About 2,400 structures were consumed by the fire, but about 90% of the city was left intact. The wildfire was expected to reach the neighbouring province of Saskatchewan on Tuesday, said Chad Morrison, Alberta’s manager of wildfire prevention. The lack of rain in the forecast suggested little relief was in sight for firefighters struggling to gain control over the blaze, he added. As the fire raged out of control in the region, production of oil sands crude dropped by roughly a million barrels of oil per day. In recent days oil sands workers had begun returning to the camps north of Fort McMurray in the hope of ramping up production. Monday’s evacuation and the volatile nature of the fire have raised concerns that the region may suffer a prolonged production outage.

Oil Sands Restart Plans Thwarted as Wildfire Threat Returns
17 May `16 - Suncor evacuates sites that were preparing to resume work; Conference Board says fire to cost economy C$985 million

Plans to bring back more than 1 million barrels a day of lost production in Canada’s oil sands are being delayed as wildfires sweeping across northern Alberta threaten operations again, prompting Suncor Energy Inc. to evacuate three sites it was restarting. The nation’s largest oil producer flew employees from its MacKay River, Firebag and base plant sites as it shut down the facilities days after beginning the process of resuming output. The wildfire that’s raged for more than two weeks circled back north of Fort McMurray toward the main operations in the oil sands, the world’s third-largest reserves.

About 8,000 workers were removed from lodging facilities as the blaze grew to about 3,550 square kilometers (1,370 square miles), Alberta Premier Rachel Notley said Tuesday. That’s an area bigger than Rhode Island. Horizon North Logistics Inc.’s Blacksand lodge, a work camp about 40 kilometers (24 miles) northwest of Fort McMurray that serves Suncor and Syncrude Canada Ltd. sites, some of the largest oil-sands facilities, was destroyed by fire, Notley said. “Mother Nature continues to be our foe in this regard and not our friend,” Notley said in a briefing. Westerly winds were forecast to push the fire closer to Suncor and Syncrude oil-sands plants, though both facilities are very resilient, she said. “We expect fire growth in the area of many of these camps.”

Production Cuts

The delay to restarts is another setback for Canada’s economy and energy industry in what is already estimated to be the country’s costliest disaster, following the evacuation of more than 80,000 people from their homes earlier this month as entire neighborhoods in Fort McMurray were razed. Oil-sands output has been reduced by about 1.2 million barrels a day, according to estimates from the Conference Board of Canada. The research group forecasts that 14 days of production cuts represents a hit of about C$985 million ($763 million) to the Alberta economy.

Suncor is focused on moving people out of the oil-sands region, Sneh Seetal, a spokeswoman, said by phone. The MacKay River, Firebag and base plant mine sites together have a capacity to produce about 740,000 barrels a day. Syncrude, a joint venture controlled by Suncor, also evacuated workers because of the fire threat, Will Gibson, a spokesman, said in an e-mail. Syncrude’s Mildred Lake and Aurora mines together have a capacity to produce about 407,000 barrels a day.

Fort McMurray fire reaches Saskatchewan...

Canadian wildfire crosses border into Saskatchewan
Thu, 19 May 2016 - The massive Canadian wildfire that displaced thousands of people in Alberta spreads to neighbouring Saskatchewan.

The fire is now 4,830 sq km (1865 sq miles) and has expanded east. It has burned about 7.8 sq km (3 sq miles) in the province so far, the CBC reports. The nearest village is more than 30 km from the border, but smoke and ash could be a concern for the town of La Loche, Saskatchewan. There are currently nine fires in Saskatchewan. If the fire or air quality does not worsen, evacuees from fire-ravaged Fort McMurray may start to return home as soon as 1 June, Alberta premier Rachel Notley has said. The timeline for more than 80,000 people returning to their homes is "conditional", she said on Wednesday. The re-entry plan will allow for some residents to come back 1 June and all residents to return by 15 June. In order for the timeline to be followed, five conditions must be met, Ms Notley said.

Fort McMurray after damage

* The fire can no longer be an "imminent threat" and air quality must be safe
* The hospital must be open and able to provide basic services
* Fire, police and ambulance services must be restored
* Roads must be open to traffic and natural gas and electricity must be restored
* There must be access to food, potable water, banks and pharmacies

Ms Notley suggested residents bring food and drinking water, portable coolers, boots, flashlights, batteries and cameras back with them. Schools are not expected to reopen until September. "Let me be clear that this re-entry plan is voluntary. It's a matter of allowing those people who wish to return on a voluntary basis to do so in a phased and cautious way. We anticipate that many people will not return as early as June 1, and we will support them in that decision," said Ms Notley. She warned that the date would be pushed back if conditions change. The fire began on 3 May and destroyed more than 2,400 homes and buildings and displaced thousands of people. Ms Notley has assured that those with no homes to return to will be helped by the government.

Evacuation orders lifted north of Fort McMurray...

Progress made on fighting Fort McMurray wildfire
May 21, 2016 -- Firefighters in Alberta said they should be able to make progress containing the Fort McMurray wildfire over the weekend and several camps north of the town have been reopened.

The progress is thanks to cooler, damper weather in the region, which saw trace amounts of rain Friday. Mandatory evacuation orders for several oilseeds camps north ofFort McMurray were lifted, municipal officials tweeted, though the town itself remains under a mandatory evacuation.

The wildfire, which now occupies about 1.2 million acres, has shrunk slightly over the last two days, firefighters said. They were able to make more progress on the "dozer line" the bulldozer line meant to contain the wildfire and helicopter loads of water were making progress in beating back the massive flames.

Among the odder problems generated by the wildfire is the increasing prevalence of black bears in Fort McMurray. Wildlife officials said the bears are being attracted into the town by the smell of rotting food in abandoned homes. The bears are, like people, largely homeless thanks to the wildfire destroying so much of their surrounding habitat. Wildlife officials told the CBC residents returning should be on the lookout for bears in places they previously would not have been.

Fire evacuation orders lifted north of Fort McMurray
Sunday 22nd May, 2016 Alberta officials have lifted mandatory evacuation orders in some areas north of Fort McMurray, where a raging wildfire has forced the evacuation of more than 80,000 people and the closure of oil sands operations.

Officials said Saturday that conditions have improved in some parts north of the oil sands city. Suncor Energy Inc. and Syncrude will now be able to resume its idled northern oil sands operations and bring back evacuated workers.

About 8,000 oil sands workers in camps north of Fort McMurray were evacuated after gusting winds and high temperatures caused the fire to move rapidly toward them earlier this week.

The blaze, which began May 1, has covered 1,930 square miles (5,000 square kilometers), including areas that are still burning and those where the fire has already been put out.

That's a mighty hot fire...

Firefighters protect Canada's oil sands battling 1,100 C flames
Tuesday 24th May, 2016 - Fighting massive forest fires is dangerous and taxing enough, but those sent into Canadas oil sands are not only wrestling with one of the worst wildfires in the countrys history. They are doing it surrounded by the volatile, explosive chemicals and compounds critical to pumping oil from some of the worlds largest reserves.

Now in its third week, the fire's proximity to the billions of dollars worth of oil equipment, flammable liquids, and extraction sites had people fearful that the flames, which can jump as far as more than a kilometre with gusts of wind, could do catastrophic damage to critical infrastructure. Dozens of safety workers and industrial firefighters are working at places like Syncrude and Suncor Energy's upgrading facilities north of Fort McMurray surrounded by flames burning to the edges of the oil sands, facing temperatures running as high as 1,100 Celsius (2,000 Fahrenheit).

The heavy bitumen in the oil sands themselves is not flammable, but the facilities and people inside are at risk. The most harrowing moments were when we first arrived on scene, dealing with these forest fires growing on you, flames jumping fifty feet in the air," said Aron Harper, 35, a firefighter and emergency medical technician employed by Suncor, who lives in Fort McMurray, Alberta province's main oil hub. "We were yelling at guys to get out of there because the thing was growing so fast. Ive never seen a fire grow that fast in my life.

Firefighters do not measure forest fires by temperature, but by a measure known as "head fire intensity," said Travis Fairweather, Alberta wildfire information officer. It is calculated as the rate of heat energy released over time at the front of the fire, and this fire at times reached five times a level considered extreme, he said. Almost half of Alberta's 2,351 firefighters have been assigned to Fort McMurray and oil companies have drafted industrial firefighting specialists to protect operations in the area, where about one million barrels of capacity has been shuttered.

Fort McMurray residents to return home...

Fort McMurray fire: First residents to return home
Tue, 31 May 2016 - Some residents of the Canadian city of Fort McMurray are to begin returning home after a raging wildfire that displaced 90,000 people.

Some Fort McMurray residents are to return home for the first time since a huge wildfire that displaced 90,000 people in north-west Canada. Alberta Premier Rachel Notley said the conditions needed for the return of the residents had been met. The first residents will return on Wednesday, although three neighbourhoods remain off-limits. Authorities will continue assessing conditions daily, and the plans could change if conditions worsen. CBC reported that five conditions had to be met for people to return, including the restoration of critical services such as police and healthcare.

Air quality is expected to continue improving in the city thanks to cooler weather and expected rain. "The resilience and determination of the people of Fort McMurray continues to impress me every single day," Ms Notley wrote on Facebook. "I know that even in the face of this challenging and frustrating news, that they will remain strong, resilient, and together." She said 500 homes in the Abasand, Beacon Hill and Waterways neighbourhoods had been deemed unsafe for habitation, meaning about 9,000 people will have to stay out of Fort McMurray for the immediate future. A boil-water advisory notice remains in place and the province is warning certain at-risk groups to be careful about coming back. "To residents choosing to return this week, I ask you to not go home without a plan," Ms Notley said. "Bring food, water and any other supplies needed for the next two weeks."

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police will be patrolling the city as residents start their return. "When they say to bring 14 days worth of food and water, they mean it," said Jim Mandeville, an official with disaster clean-up group FirstOnSite. "And when they say people with respiratory conditions shouldn't come up here, they mean it - and they have a really good reason why. It is not a clean, safe, normal environment that you're walking into.'' The fire began on 3 May and destroyed more than 2,400 homes and buildings. It shut off nearly a quarter of Canada's oil production as it approached Alberta's oil sands. The fire is still burning and covers about 580,000 hectares (5,800 sq km), including part of the neighbouring province of Saskatchewan, but is not expected to grow significantly.

Residents of Fort McMurray start to trickle back in...

Residents start to return to Canadas fire-stricken city
Thu, Jun 02, 2016 - Tens of thousands of Fort McMurray, Alberta, residents yesterday were expected to begin trickling back into the Canadian oil city ravaged by wildfires after the blaze was declared no longer a threat.

Getting life back to a degree of normalcy in the immediate [future] is the key, and obviously for those people who have lost their homes tragically it is to make sure they have the supports they need, said Scott Long, head of the Alberta Emergency Management agency. The fire, which forced the evacuation of nearly 100,000 people from the city and surrounding villages, remains out of control. However, it has moved away from populated areas as it heads eastward, while growing only minimally in the last few days to more than 566,560 hectares.

Smoke has largely dissipated in the city itself, raising local air quality to safe levels. At this time the fire does not pose any immediate threat to Fort McMurray or surrounding communities, Alberta wildfire manager Chad Morrison said. The residents were scheduled to begin returning at 8am yesterday, with police monitoring traffic flows and ambulances on standby. Rest stops have been set up along the 500km route from Edmonton to Fort McMurray. The Red Cross has offered to bus in up to 2,000 people per day. The repatriation will be voluntary and phased in over two weeks to prevent highway gridlock.

However, three hard-hit neighborhoods Abasand, Beacon Hill and Waterways will be closed off until September, when remediation and cleanup are expected to be completed. Most of the homes in these neighborhoods, which have been fenced off by a 30km enclosure, were burned to the ground when fires swept through at the beginning of last month. More than 500 undamaged houses and apartments were deemed unsafe for habitation this week after tests of air, soil and ash revealed chemical and heavy metal contamination.
