Wendigo Road Wildfire: That Ish Was Wild 😭🔥

The Deets

Fam, listen up. This wildfire on Wendigo Road was NO joke. We're talking total devastation. Properties got Thanos snapped, leaving residents like, "Is this real life?" Liane Ross-Martin and Brad Wood are straight up heartbroken, watching their cabins and homes get turned to dust. They said the fire was moving at warp speed, and the warning system was MIA.

But the real gut punch? Two residents, Richard and Sue Nowell, sadly didn't make it. Sending mad respect and condolences to their fam and friends 🙏🕊️.

On top of the property loss, cell service was bugging out, making it even harder for people to get the message and stay safe. Like, imagine trying to call for help with zero bars? Big yikes.

Now, the RM of Lac Du Bonnet is stepping up, trying to handle the cleanup and figure out how to help everyone rebuild. They had a whole council meeting and are planning to hit up the province for some major assistance. Estimates are saying cleanup alone will be millions, which is insane.

Looking ahead, people are weighing their options. Rebuild or nah? And everyone's screaming for a better notification system. Like, we need those alerts popping OFF if something like this ever happens again. Plus, concerns about the environment and cleanup are real. This whole situation is a major L, and hopefully, lessons are learned so it never happens again.
