sad video from Fort McMurry

[Daveroo]

this family gave permission to the youtube channel to show this video of their home as it began to burn in the Fort McMurray fire.its interesting to me as to see how a fire enters a home.but whats truly sad to me was when i realised there were live fish in that fish tank...i just hate to see any life taken...but mainly those who dont know or understand whats happening.most mammals will flee..but these poor fish wouldn't go anywhere.

What's happening in Canada is a shocker, but, I fear to say, a portent of things to come. As temperatures climb, especially in Northern climes, all that forest is drying sooner and faster and setting events like this in place. It also doesn't help that fire prevention measures have been cut back in many areas. I know country people here in WA are very sensitive to the increasing fire risks, as, no doubt, people on the West coast US are.
