While there have been very few people injured (伤害) by the large fire itself, it has been harmful to the community.

Canadians in other places have been helping by sending money anddonationsto the Red Cross. Many people in Alberta have taken in people from Fort McMurray, letting them stay in their homes for free until the fire is put out.

The brave firefighters were able to save 25,000 homes as well as the hospital and all of the town’s schools, according to CBC news.
