We don't replant in fire-killed areas anymore. It's left to grow back naturally. |

300,000+ acres burned so far, and they're saying the fire may burn for months. |

With average salaries being $80k/year (even secretaries make close to 50k) and property values being amongst the highest in Canada da po' folk would have no ability to put down roots. Edited by Archangel, May 9 2016, 08:34 AM.

Oil production in the fire area is taking a big hit and will disrupt the provincial economy...........

The figure they have enough oil stockpiled to last another 3-5 weeks. If they can get the facilities back online within that time there will be no negative effect on the economy. If not then, yeah, you're right. |

Perhaps too early to ask: How could this have been avoided? |
