As the massive forest fire continues to burn in Fort MacMurray communities across the country are reaching out to help. In The Pas a new group was formed over the past few days by Mark Andrews and Darcie Thompson. They’re in the planning stages but Thompson says some donations can be accepted already. Thomspon says they’re taking donations of blankets and pillows at Funky Threadz and the Wescana Inn. Andrews says donations of other items will be accepted over the coming weeks. Another way to help is to individually make donations to the Red Cross in support of Fort MacMurray.
