Amazing that the Fire crews prevented it from crossing Confed, what a bunch of god damn warriors.

Is it possible to sell/auction stuff here with proceeds going to the red cross? Sometimes getting something the money loosens up the wallets a bit. Might be fun too.

Donated online this morning. Haven't lived in Alberta in many years, but still miss it very much, always loved my time there.

I notice there are 2 different ways to text and donate - is one better than the other?

Just want to make sure my donation goes to best one possible.

You all realize that we are now obligated to buy drinks for firefighters for the rest of our lives, right?

Put in my $150 to the red cross.

All the best to those affected - what a devastating event.

I've stayed in the Nova Hotel once or twice. I hope they save that airport.

Have people got confirmation txt back when doing this? I texted them earlier this morning, but never got any confirmation reply, so no idea if it went through or not.

There is a confirmation step, so no, yours didn't go through.

Not sure if already posted or asked, but besides this thread, where is the best place for live updates and news streams?

Tried the CBC live blog, but doesn't seem to update much

Thanks,

LChoy

If you don't have twitter, just Google #ymmfire and you'll go to the twitter page dedicated for the fire. Best place.

Reddit is a little more cumbersome.

I think if I had your handle and avatar, I wouldn't have the guts to post in this thread.
