The military should start arriving over the weekend. Most of the rig pigs that aren't Newfies were junior enlisted, so it should be a fun reunion.

Because 80% of the population are oil/gas workers who are tough as nails, who are trained in first response medical. Who are trained to stay calm in a hydrogen sulphide leak and rescue fallen workers.

I've always assumed your average Canadian city is just a small logging village. Basically Falkreath for fans of Skyrim. Doesn't seem hard for it to be entirely on fire.

I'm glad that no one died in Ft Mac. They can get back to drinking/drugging themselves to death for lack of anything to do fairly soon.

Not everyone in Ft. Mac is going to have any sort of safety training. For every rig pig with a dozen safety tickets there are a dozen people working in camp kitchens, at home depot, doing data entry in an office, or whatever with maybe first aid and some gas detection if they work in a warehouse that has some nitrogen tanks. That said its probably fair to say that Ft. Mac has a much higher incidence of people with a dozen safety tickets, and a career of working in dangerous and stressful situations that a city like Los Angeles probably doesn't. At least on a per capita basis. I'm sure Manhattan alone has 90000 people with a first aid certificate just because there is 10 million people and 10% with some sort of ticket doesn't seem unreasonable. I'd attribute the lack of fatalities to the fact that the authorities didn't really waffle on declaring a state of emergency and just went with evacuating the whole drat town when things started to look real bad, rather than waiting till things were actually real bad.
