Someone started the fire on purpose to raise oil prices because the oil companies are slumping.

The actual oil sand sites are like 50km away and as far as I know haven't been affected, but I guess the city gets rebuilt which creates some jobs?

I'm Southwest of Fort Mac by 600km or so. Part of the issue is the el nino winter. There was very little snow, and then April hits and we had several +30c days.

In my city, forestry wardens are patrolling the recreational trails making sure everyone's atv's have spark inhibitors in their exhausts.
