It’ll be four years since my house burnt down on May 3rd. Coming back to this makes me remember the whole thing again.
B t s A r m y just two more days. It’s sad
Hope your doing well now
B t s A r m y I’m so sorry 😢
I live here still I still can’t handle the thought of it
Same, I never lived in fortmcmurray but I lived only half an hour away, I remember having to drive through the fires, and the dry year
Dam this is such a shame... I hate seeing our beautiful forests get burned up like this... Hope everyone evacuated safely and can recover... From Ontario!!
+Stromedy Stromedyy Fancy seeing you here
+Stromedy Forest fires are actually part of a healthy ecosystem.
Forest fires are natural and healthy for the ecostsysmr
+Stromedy Fires to old growth forests are actually a beneficial aspect of northern forests. The areas after a fire often come up healthier and reduce the risk of uncontrolled fires. The problem is not the old forests burning down. It is the towns and lives in their path.
+MoonRa1969 unless it burns humans alive
In all honesty my heart goes out to everyone affected by this tragic event...hope it gets under control soon
Does your heart still goes out to everyone?
@@randomchannel6900does it?
It's been 7 years, Canada is still on fire 😢
wildfires move extremely fast. Had a small brush fire at my work and it quickly grew by several acres in mere seconds, almost lost one of the trucks due to rapidly moving flames
I hope everyone has safely evacuated! Lots of love and wishes from Ontario!
Lots of people lost their homes. My dad was out with the helicopter dropping water. He told me the ashes from the fire drop onto the roof of people's houses and catch on fire.
Asia Broadbent Wow. I understand how it feels. I've been through several hurricanes that have destroyed my homes. Natural disasters are horrible things to go through. My heart goes out to you all. And bless your dad for helping out.
+Sam Saad its a very scary situation out there right now. Even the airport has been evacuated except for the men who fly and fix the helicopters like my father. Apparently they have no way to get food right now because all the general stores have burnt down. So they're surviving off of whatever food there is in the hangers.
+Asia Broadbent Damn I'm from Ontario as well and I'm praying for you guys. I can't imagine what you guys are going through there, you can't seem to catch a break.
honestly this happened so quickly, it's sad to know that this can happen when ever, well I'm wishing from Calgary
Everything changed when the fire nation attacked.
nyeh
ommmmmg looool
you won the internet forever.
lmaoo
Nice reference
Depressing when you think about how common wildfires like this have become.
they always have been. it's nothing new.
@@Alloneword-cp2xw not in chile and every new fire season becomes the historic worst
@mikethespike0568 but you have a fire season, that's what I said. Wild fires are nothing new. The ferocity of the fires are getting worse due to hotter weather, but the fact they are common is nothing new.
@@Alloneword-cp2xw fire season wasn't a thing until 2010 when it became normal.
@@mikethespike056 but you had wild fires. Australia has their fire season as do many other hot countries. Wild fires are nothing new. Pretending they are is just boring.
This is so devastating :( So many people losing their homes and all of their possessions , really breaks my heart.
Why you care it's not your problem
+Nutty Seal are you joking? that was a very arrogant thing to say
+Nutty Seal Because: empathy
+Nutty Seal Cool it, Nutty Seal. You're looking like a real douche here.
@@benl5620 yes now they know how young people who will never be able to afford their own home feels.
prayers from Ontario
Thanks man
+JesusFriedChrist Haha yep
+epicqman Oh go shove your prayers where the sun doesn't shine. Your pathetic fairy in the sky isn't going to help these people, put clothes on their back, put food in their mouths, or rebuild their homes.
+James Wolfe why don't you go shove your beliefs back into hell then
+epicqman yeah pretty bad when you offer prayers and support for people evacuated and somebody slams you for it .. of course, there's always bitter people in the world . Good thing tho is there are a lot of people offering prayer and support too .
Hope it gets all figured out, terrible to see something like this. Prayers from the gta
👍🏻

+omguanyin +ur mom Come on guys, don't be jerks
+Hammi5 it's in the province of Alberta
Being someone who is actually out here in Alberta and making almost daily trips up to the front lines delivering goods from multiple parts of Alberta I want to say thank you for everything given. I am not a religious man but I will say everything is good to get, whether it be money, supplies or even if all you can give is a prayer, it is appreciated and I as a proud Albertan and thankful for all of the support. Anyone who keeps telling people how they need to stop praying as it doesn't help needs to just but out as well. maybe a prayer is all they can afford or they truly believe it will help and if you ask me the support in itself is what you should be seeing. not the religious connection it has. again. Thank you to Albertans, Canadians and even the rest of the world for the support we have seen. Now I am going to head back up for another delivery.
I'm from Manitoba & I wondered why I always smelled something burning & saw a mist in the distance everywhere I looked....Now I know.
+Janice Flett I live in Brampton so I don't have a reson to be scared
Oh my! For the people who are fighting this fire, Stay strong, I know you can make it through this! :(
Aww bless u. And yes I really hope they can make it through this and somehow put it past them.
Seven years ago, wow

+SnazTastic Kobe tf
pretty sure my grandpa is also helping
Prayers from America. I've been to Canada multiple times (family in Ontario and Quebec) and it is a wonderful country. May God help those in need in Fort McMurray and keep people safe from the fires.
Canadians should be forced to pay for this. They need to be held accountable for this disaster.
@@momo1461 lol....they have fires every year einstein...we are trying to burn sh-thole murica to the ground🤪🤪🤪😑😑🤪

God told us we were to be stewards of the land and its creatures. We failed. We killed the Earth and now we are punished.
That’s my home it’s where I live and where I was born and I can say it was terrifying and heart breaking but the way everyone came together was beautiful. ❤️
Sending love and hope from Scarborough, Ontario. Stay safe, everyone.

One of the saddest things is that the only person that died was the fire chiefs dad, my councillor was in this and shared her story❤😢
So sad, I hope everyone is okay. All the best to everyone there.
My friend from my class lives there ... not anymore. I hope she is ok.
If the evacuation took place while your fried was in school, all the school buses took the school kids to safety and they will be re united with their families shortly! :)
lets hope
She's probably doing blow , she will be fine .
+sandy carree go fuck yourself this a serious problem
Stop being such a troll Sandy, you wouldn't want this happening to your own family so be careful what you comment or karma might get you back someday.
i'm working at the military base in Trenton, ON, and they sent all there military planes over for help! Stay safe everyone!
my dad works there i go to frankford public school
+meg playzz my dads a tuna
+Meat Successor I'm bored
I am here to applause for the firefighters who work there, informed local citizens on time that's why nobody is harmed by fire so far.
The speed is horrific. How quickly fire spread has to be seen to be believed.
Luckily I evacuated to Edmonton safely, and I praise God that our house is still up
Wow what a nice god, burning other buildings and forests but leaving your house intact. Definitely deserves your praise.
+Eesdesseses Erdt Smh.
+Skyy Coutrie what, you don't have a logical response? I feel incredibly bad for anyone affected by this fire, but seriously, that is one of the dumbest things I've ever heard.
***** Okay, even if it is, I'd probably say the same thing, I wouldn't want to accept that my 10+years of stuff, memories and all that be burnt to a crisp. Sure all of it can be replaced in time but jeez.
+Eesdesseses Erdt Shows some compassion mate. Regardless of what was said. Your words are quite disrespectful.
Prayers from Toronto Ontario. Hope the fire will be gone soon
+Tony Wang (iAquariums) Prayers from Toronto as well :)
They used to run ads on the radio that included snipers of audio from firefighters. Don’t know why, but I’ve never really forgotten about it. I knew a couple people who lived with my neighbors after they lost everything in this fire.

+rakkrisr123 Did you pray for the fire to get bigger? If you did then it worked. Thanks.
I remember seeing the hilltops in front of glowing orange and flying flames during the Oakland fires
Luckily, there didn't appear to be a very strong wind to fuel the flames and make the direction of the fire's progress more unpredictable. Hopefully this one ends quickly and without injury or incident. Peace.
I don't think this will be over quickly
30000 half of the town lost their homes

sending prayers from Toronto, Ontario to everyone in Fort McMurray. Damn, this is so sad...blessings to all!
And to think that this will happen every year, everywhere, every time stronger and wilder, and all thanks to us.
So many nasty comments, why? What's wrong with people? The worst always seem to come from North Americans.Troll capital of the world? Watching this from the UK and hope all are safe. Unbelievable scenes. Take care all in Fort McMurray. X
I agree! Most of them came to my city (Edmonton) which is around 4 hours away.
+Anne Walker it's youtube, did you just wake up from a 15 year coma or are you just pretending to be incredibly stupid.
The worst trolls are North Americans, seriously? I guess you never seen the comments section at the DailyMail
im very thankful my family and friends were able to get out and are safe now, many hopes and prayers to those still stranded. may you be safe in the near future

my prayers go out to all of you, prayers from new york city
+Ouijas ST Oh go shove your prayers where the sun doesn't shine. Your nancy-boy fairy in the sky isn't going to help these people, put clothes on their backs, give them shelter, put food in their mouths, or rebuild their homes. In fact, things like these are oftentimes called "acts of god" and the really sleazy insurance companies use such a claim so they don't have to pay a penny.
+James Wolfe, Acting like an ass doesn't help anyone either.
Thank you for your prayers friend , from a Canadian who used to live , and has family in Alberta not too far from the fire area .

When I went on a road trip with my parents, we drove from Ontario to fort McMurray where my aunt lives, and she lived on some hill of sort,and we just watched the fire engaulph the trees. I never have witnessed a forest fire before. I'm glad my aunt wasn't living where the fire was happening. I'm glad how well everyone who was infected by it left before it got worse. I don't recall any deaths so thats good, but I hope they found a new place to stay. It must be hard having to leave everything behind and lose it.
had a cousin that lived there with his family when he was a kid, but they have a home in Edmonton now. This really sucks. Thoughts and prayers for those affected and hope it rains soon.

Wild how it goes from "there's a fire up that hill" to "the whole hill is fire now"
A fire will double in size, I think every 30 seconds.
@@u4riahsc I think they say that about house fires, since, you know, carpets and clothes and couches are very flammable. But I think a particularly dry heatwave stricken forest can fit in the same category, yea.
