Well on the weekend down home they had a forest fire that was out of control and had to evacuate close to 5,000 people.It started Friday and went until yesterday there are still hot spots hat they are being taken care of. Tehy had to call in for helpf rrom New Brunswick,Newfounland and Quebec for the water bomber sto help out.

The winds were very strong on Friday and the fire actually jumped over the lake and highway. My sister was onthe lsit to be evacuated next on Saturday but they were able to return home becaue the wind died down and they were nolonge in danger.

Most of the peopel evacuated were allowed to go home Sunday night and the remaining 50 peopel were allowed to go home yesterday.

With the mass of forest lost the good news is no one was hurt and the fire  only destroyed  2 homes and damaged 5 others.

Iam glad the fire fighters and all volunteers came out unharm and they did a very good job in controlling the fire.
