    Permits and Log Books not required during a forest fire. Load and go ASAP.

    I've just got into Westlock and there are convoys of campshacks rolling out towards Athabasca and Fort Mac. Willing to bet they're building a camp somewhere near there.

    I believe it may have been this load of lumber on 881 at Heart Lake this afternoon. Collision with a SUV. The two occupants of the SUV died at the scene:

    There should be a 2 day break in the hot wheather which hopefully will be enough to get the fires down.(according to CNN)

    Good Luck.
