Vets,just read in the local paper that there are now six waterbombers in your area from here.They are the usual yellow with blue piping along each side of the fuselage with blue wingtips & Tail.We've also sent another 50 firefighters to bolster the ones there for the past six weeks.Gool luck!!

Vive le Quebec'er Firefighter/helpers Thanks for letting me know this stuff Garry and a huge thank-you to all those people helping from all over! I really wish I were physically fit and able to releive someone!

I checked today and the firefighters for our fire numbered at 200!!!! Quite a jump in just a couple of days. The fire was last scanned on the 6th so don't know its size today... however, I DO know that they haven't been able to get at it by air for the last 2 days because of cloud cover (normal clouds, not smoke) Not raining anymore... just clouds.

And all this too shall pass ... eventually.

Take care...Yappy
