Just an FYI, but the average price of the trailers in Ft Mac is around 600,000$, at least it was when I left. Our house there was 2300sq ft in a nice area but not the best, and it sold for 1.1 million. The largest trailer park in the world (2 of them) are in Ft Mac. Not much meth scene in Ft Mac, cocaine is another matter. We rented our basement to an RCMP officer when we were there (they don't get paid much, and the cost of living/housing is more than any new officer posted there can afford), and he was on the drug unit. Cocaine is a huge problem there, oxy and fentanyl now too, but meth isn't a big issue..yet. Ft Mac is the richest city in N.A., it isn't even up for debate, people with $ tend towards cocaine over meth, every thing on drug use I've ever read agrees with that. Not that there aren't poor people there, it's just that the trends that have meth take over don't really exist there.
There is ample info out there on potential reasons the fire started, and why it is as bad as it is. In the city homes were in the fire that was burning at 1000 degrees C. Imgainge that, 1800 degrees F. Insane, no wonder everything is just gone like it vaporized. Not a lot of moisture on or in the ground up there this year, and it's unseasonably hot right now, and windy too. There is a slim glimmer of hope, a cold front MAY be coming tomorrow, but with that brings lighting up there, a lot of it, which with the ground the way it is can almost be worse and start more fires.
