Hall responds to blaze in Fort McMurray

Despite being in Dawson Creek for the NCLGA Conference in Dawson Creek, Mayor Lyn Hall is still in shock over the city-wide evacuation in Fort McMurray.

Tuesday’s massive blaze was something else according to Hall.

“I have been around forest fires before but the added impact is that this fire impacted a community and I have never seen anything like this. You see forest fires that are burning where there is no structures or communities in the vicinity but this here is unbelievable.”

Ryan Turcot with the BC Wildfire Service says they will not be able to lend crews due to the situation Fort St. John but are able to give some equipment.

Hall will sit down with another city employee later this week in Dawson Creek to discuss what assistance to provide Fort McMurray.
