Unhappy Slave Lake, AB burned to the ground

As a 'former Albertan' I'm saddened to see the Town of Slave Lake disappear due to the "WILDFIRE". A windstorm got a hold of a small forest fire and hit the Town. Just a few houses are left standing. 7,000 people had to run away to other towns. If you have not seen a Town fire, check it out on the U-Channel clips. I wish I could have stopped this one. Hopefully the Town can be rebuilt.

TW,

Sorry about the town.
The UTube address doesn't seem to be correct; can you send it again?

It wasn't the entire town just 30% I know if you were part of the 30% it is devistating but there is still lots of the town left

I had made a reference to the U-Channel in general.
I thought the U-Channel is well known.

www.utube.com

Put Slave Lake, AB in the Header line and the fire should come up.

PS: 30 % is now correct. Yesterday and b4 that, they talked about the TOWN is gone. Fires are still burning.
Sitting here in BC and unable to really help (old and worn out)
