I read about our neighbors next door having to deal with that really bad fire in Alberta; have any other other countries stepped up or at least asked Canada if they need backup in controlling this monster or at least helping out the many people now homeless?
Being an American; I ain't real happy that the US ain't helping out. Unless the MSM is being real quiet about outside help, I don't know.

Don't fret; we're handling it and if help is needed I'm sure all we've got to do is ask.
Doin a real knockout job there
This fire will put itself out. No disrespect to the firefighters but this thing is not being "handled"
Yeah, I can see where evacuating an entire city of over 90,000 souls without the usual loss of life, looting and cop shootings as seen elsewhere must not appear very efficient "handling" to some.
"Amrita Sen, chief oil analyst at Energy Aspects, said she understood from industry contacts that as much as 800,000 barrels per day of production was either taken off-line or was in the process of being shut down on Wednesday."
That's all good news for Americans as your crude prices will spike accordingly.

The fire is completely out of control. Too much pride to ask for help or what?
I'm not arguing the point but in the context of the word I used being "handle" as in "managing in spite of" or "dealing with the results", "maintaining our composure" , we're handling it as we always have....without the attendant whining.
Thanks for the article.......see what happens when people decide trees will manage themselves, along with drought. I was surprised it would be NJ and not Calif. on the list of worst fires set to happen.
One news reporter reported 400 acres had burned and 80,000 people evacuated is this correct?
