I am able to take in anyone who needs a place. I have 4 empty rooms (kids at summer camp for the week). Pets welcome.

No visible smoke this morning or planes. Looking from Oyama Rd.

On CBC radio they just mentioned a fire official says this fire may have been started by an illegal camp fire on the beach.

Really? C'mon people! Quit being idiots!

Really only 3 ways: glass, cig or campfire. Logic would all but rule out glass because it's such a long shot so we're left with the other two which can be grouped under one cause, a idiot started the fire.

Considering the damage caused or potential damage as well as the costs to fight these fires the minimum fine should be a million dollars for having a campfire when banned!

Agree Suds, it pretty much has to be severe and easy to understand penalty. Something any nimwit could understand because they're clearly not getting it with the current penalties.

Those who have lost their homes, would more then likely to tar & feather idiot who had fire near the water.

The losers would probably just claim bankruptcy.

Jail and community service. Have them spend time in community service with a weedeater clearing tall grass along roadways wearing a pair of covers labelled, "Fire Starter".

I am sure the RCMP will be asking for security camera footage from any houses along OK Centre Rd W. They've done it before and I'm hoping they will again. Someone for sure must know WHO the twits are that started this mess.
