Our fires in Alberta, B.C

What a summer for many of us across the globe with the smoke and fire. The fires are just crazy everywhere. I live in Calgary and the sun is orange fire ball everyday. The air quality is not right for anyone with or without health problems. Nor any of our pets for that matter. I feel terrible for all those who have lost their homes and pets out there in everyway. And those that are about to lose them and those that are ready to evacuate. It is such a sad part of our regular summer history for many years in our Province and in B.C next to us. All our nerves just go stiff sitting with that uncomfortable feeling that the fire season is arriving. Something I dont want to be part of regular life and many others as well.. Now the animals is the biggest part about this. We can all build again, buy new boats and cars. But them animals are not only burning, but thinning numbers on already low numbers. The last view visits I have done in the mountains have been just horrible. The closer you get to B.C, the more animals you see that were not in the area before. You can see the stressed one's and the non stressed one's. Maybe its just me or selfish thinking, but as hard and emotional it is to rebuild. Animals dont get to rebuild, only rehome to unfamiliar territory. To me that is devastating in so many ways. All the young one's the parents tried to protect, but left behind cause they could not flee fast enough. So sad, I hope people will start to learn off how easy it is for fires to ignite when its dry. I am so a fan of huge fines and jail for careless people. Soon we will have no forest to enjoy. Lets all hope the fire in my Province and the next get some rain relief. I hope everywhere else gets a break also. Stay safe and be aware. Rudi
