Shocking Footage of RCMP Evacuating Slave Lake During Fire.

This is a shot from the SE side of Slave Lake in the parking lot of Tags Variety. You can hear the constables yelling to get moving and hurry out of the area. At this point the smoke and debris were coming at a rapid speed. Tags and much of this area is destroyed.

i can understand where this officer is coming from... she's trying to get people to hurry the hell up and drive it like they stole it. But the thing is, most people slow down when they see a cop car with lights on because they want information, think they will be getting instructions, etc. When the instructions are STEP ON IT! And then of course the cops have to stand there with the fire coming right towards them and they're just as scared shitless as everyone else is, wondering WTF is going on.

So she's shouting hurry up and move it. Can't see anything wrong with that. Yes she sounds extremely stressed but remember that is her town she is watching go up in flames. Let's not forget that the RCMP executed the biggest evacuation in AB history, with very little notice, and no one lost their lives.

I understand watching your whole town going up in flames, you can't really think straight. But they could have at least used the megaphone equipped on their cruiser? Anyways great job by this RCMP detachment under stress.

I remember at one in the morning. Everyone in our parking lot drinking warm beer because f the outage, Whilst cars exploding and people screaming a few blocks down. My house didn't burn, but My grandmothher's did. Every picture, video, Of my dad when he was youg coupled with a grandpa I loved to death's ashes. Anyone, who hates this. I'm not a person for people deserving to die. But them, They are evil people.

@mycandydoggie Very little they had no notice. All the cops were out of town evacuating people when they got a call on the radio that the town was on fire and there were already houses burning down.

@killer2611 You know what that women saved all the people in the jail because all the other cops forgot about them. She remembered them so she saved 6 lives that day, I'd say shes a hero for going back into the fire to save those people. So maybe you shouldnt your big ass mouth until you know all the facts.

[Madisonmadi1]

That lady she actually remembered all the people who were stuck in jail and went and got them out.
