I was going to purchase one of the t-shirts but I cannot tell if they will ship to the UK (although i would probably buy one regardless), does anyone know how to contact them

I'm not sure if they ship to the UK or not, but you can probably contact the artist directly here:

Not sure if my post made it clear as I wasn't aware at the time that someone was keeping track of CPer donations.

I donated $50, I wish I could do more.

Hey guys, a quick update. My old brothers and sisters with Fort McMurray fire department are still at it. Here are some more pictures sent to me of the battles fought over the last few nights..... Today they finally got their first hot meal in four days so things might be starting to look up! Still can't say enough about how proud I am to have worked with these amazing people and the amazing people here on Calgary Puck.






Sorry about all the pictures. If you guys want me to keep up with what updates I get from the fire department let me know.

Thanks kerriffic, please keep posting. Those pictures are unreal, can't imagine what those firefighters (and all emergency personnel) feel like. They are some pretty amazing people.

I mentioned to the Mrs. about how much CP has raised. She said "is there a CP equivalent in EDM you can challenge?" Anyone with Oilfans contacts want to get in touch with them?

A massive thanks to Minnie for the items. Way too much stuff to list, it's unreal. Her and her group came through big time. Lots of little good activity stuff to pass the time.

Cannot promise the Mr Freezies are shared.. those.. those will be buried deep in the freezer, eaten only shamefully when no one is around.

I was one of the first to reply so I'm not so anonymous on here any more...lol....don't do anything dirty with that knowledge!
So the RM of WB tweeted that the Firefighters are not looking for places to stay or eat and that the request isn't legit.

It is a wonderful show of Canadians literately giving up their homes for those working so hard, so I am not sure if you want to delete the post or not, considering it isn't legit and has peoples personal home info. Fort Mac is currently empty I think other then first responders, so maybe no big deal?

I don't know, thought I would just mention it and be the Debbie downer.

Evening Satellite Update:
Spoiler!

Ya, still a lot of growth going on. Still plenty of breakouts east of FM
Spoiler!

Close up of the airport. Lots of new spots south of the runway. There appears to be a storage yard of some sort to the SE. These are pretty large detection pixels, so the source could be anywhere in that area.
Spoiler!
Lots of spread eastwards this afternoon.
Spoiler!

Close up of Long Lake facility. Tough to say how bad it got it, but lots of spread south. Nexen's website has no update on this for today.

It was absolutely our pleasure. It was really the least we could offer/do right now. We hope it brings a bit of cheer to your family.

Edit: forgot to mention to you amidst the rush today: BigMacDaddy kicked in a bunch of cash this morning that was put toward that Co-op grocery card. He's pretty kickass.

Ahem. I know where you live now, remember. I will cut you. Share.

Don't think this was posted yet, some comic relief:
Canadian Army pre-flight safety demonstration to Fort McMurray wildfire evacuees.


NSFW for language.

Got an update from my best friend. He said things have gotten worse as far as the fire burning and they are doing everything in their power to keep the fire away from the city.

Even our soldiers would rather come to Calgary over Edmonton.
