Alberta explores other route out of Fort McMurray as wildfire forces residents to flee again

As wildfire evacuees crowded the roads out of Fort McMurray and travelled down the two highways out of town, the scene brought back memories of a scramble to leave the city in 2016, as an even more ferocious blaze consumed thousands of homes in the northern Alberta city.

Now with a wildfire burning nearby once again, the experience is bringing renewed calls for change — including more routes to escape. Morgan Black explains.

  1. Is wildfires an attack?? Think about concentrated heat waves or beams, like microwaves for example. They need to get a handle on this. I wish our government and all the different departments would focus on something like these strange phenomenons, they'd developed a technology/new weapon and we are oblivious to it.

  2. This happened in 2016 and those officials literally scrambled and ran for their lives last minute. Almost 10 years later, these officials have learned nothing and are still struggling to evacuate.

  3. Definitely nothing to do with rising global temperatures drying everything to the point that it can go up like tinder. Someone must have deliberately dried the forest somehow so that it could catch fire.
