Many are calling it the worst natural disaster in Canada's history: a mammoth inferno sweeping across the northern regions. At the time of writing, 26 May, fire conditions are high to extreme, Fort McMurray remains out of control, and fire covers 566,188 hectares. Fifteen different wildfires are burning. Firefighters are conducting controlled burns to limit potential flare-ups later. There are 2,054 firefighters, 88 helicopters, 256 pieces of heavy equipment and 25 air tankers currently battling the fires. Wildfire crews from across the world are supporting Canada’s efforts. The forecast for today is 22 Celsius, humidity 30%, with a possibility of thundershowers on Thursday or Friday. Pray for rain. Pray for firefighters and their families. Pray for the safe re-entry of residents to burnt-out areas. Pray for those organising and receiving temporary housing support. Pray for the information centres being set up throughout the region to offer resources for returning residents.
