(Eagle News) — Iglesia Ni Cristo members in Canada prepare food and other items to help victims of the forest fire still raging in Fort McMurray in Alberta, Canada.
Some of those affected by the wildfires have already reached Edmonton, Canada with harrowing tales of how they had escaped the infernal flames. The usual five hours of driving time from Fort McMurray to Edmonton became 15 hours of travel time because of heavy traffic and vehicles running out of gas.
Many had to leave their cars behind, with no other option but to walk to Edmonton where evacuation centers and shelters had been set up.
“It was like the end of the world,” said one of the evacuees.
INC brethren in Edmonton also took in some of the evacuees from Fort McMurray.
