Don't quote me on this, but I think our FF officials have to request it from the CDN Feds and then they request the help from the US guys.

I sure hope Cal Fire is up there lending a hand. We have enough fires around here that they've gotten pretty good at it. Their DC10 tanker can put some pretty big dents in it.

My heart goes out to those people, hate to see that happening.

You need more gear flying on that fire. It's a big'un. Maybe Mother Nature will lend a hand soon.

There is a possibility of rain on Monday.44% chance. Temperatures are going to be lower than the high 80s to 90s they have been having. That might help.

Fire like that and being right next to it......scary, scary, scary! I would have ran 'til I hit a ocean.

A quote from usatoday.com;
More than 1,100 firefighters are battling the blaze, using 145 helicopters, 138 pieces of heavy equipment and 22 air tankers. Chad Morrison, of Alberta Forestry, said the key element missing is rain.

Not too much fire fighters and air attacks can do on this one, I read this morning on CNN that it has jumped a river that is one kilometer wide.
