Well, there's a reason why Fort McMurray is the biggest town that was affected.

It's a lot of woods up there.

More woods than people anyhow.

Every summer, we always always have tons of fires "up North" all across Canada because of that.

This one was just larger than most, that's all.

Also, they're going to rush to rebuild because Fort McMurray is an oil town and Alberta, the province it's in, is an oil province.

We call it "Texas to the North" up here, because it's a province that has two main industries: oil and cattle.

And they've had a couple of rough years financially because the price of oil has gone down.

Fort McMurray plays a big role in their economy, so they're gonna want to get back on the horse as quickly as possible, so to speak.
