Things you don't think about, like that and the logistics of trying to get feed in for the rest when the police are trying to close off all the roads, and trying to contain herds when all the fences are burned. Yeah you all had some terrible fires. This one will do some damage but it probably won't reach an actual town. Knock on wood.

It's ranchland, too, so they're having to round up cows and horses and contend with that. Can't move them all, so I dunno what they do. Probably try to cut a firebreak around the herd?

Luckily we have a giant house sucking evac. fan which cleared the smoke 100x faster than having nothing.
Also the cabinets are burned a little but not as bad as we though, mostly soot I wonder is the burn spots could be sanded and then made to match the existing crap they have up there. It's fairly old at least 15-20 years I'm guessing
Manburn
Dear Manburnt, This source may be useful. I'm not sure if you have a carpet cleaner in the closet so you might have to sub a bucket of water and a scrubber and some elbow grease. As to the second problem. If the bare wood is actually charred there's not much to do about it. You'll have to sand it all down so far it will be a worse situation. If the finish is just scorched I believe you have more than enough ability to fluff it up. Sorry you're having such a torture of it pals. Outside of that, yeah...evac fans...100x baby. That's wassup... Love, Uncle It's a light oak stain, not dark, so whatever we do will be less conspicuous that the black burn marks which are mostly along the edges and would have been half as bad if we did have a magnetic note pad stuck up there which caught fire and burned the woodword more than anything, so here's the moral the the sto thanks Unkyviolin

I wonder if it's possible for the oil sands to ignite... that would be a fine mess indeed.
