Forest Fires

30 Degrees.

We have had little rain and many forest fires, especially further south, some national parks are closed, some houses have burnt down and many animals must have died. At the moment even Calgary has smoke. We saw some fire-fighters sitting around, waiting in Kananaskis. It must be so hot in those suits. There was helicopter close by, which has a bucket, which is fills from a lake close by and then empties onto the fires. Later we drove by Ghost dam, close to Cochran, where there were about 5 aqua-planes filling up with water and dropping it on the fire.
