I was through there yesterday, from Hedley on 287 you could see the flames from the McLean fire 10 miles away. At Alanreed, cattle with there hide burned off just standing with their eyelids melted together. Horses lying dead smoldering. HORRIBLE NIGHTMARE TO SEE! They said they could lose up to 10,000 head of cattle. Hundreds of ranchers could lose everything. Thousands of acres with no fences and no electric or telephone poles left standing. Many more people are going to be needing benefits. I dont understand why the government isn't sending in more military help with helicopters and fire fighters.
