This is how big that fire in northern Alberta is, compared to NYC. According to the Forestry department, it is now too big to put out. They say it can only be put out with rain.
There is no rain in the forecast for two full weeks from now.

- Yeah, but not very well.nb
- Why go to Freeport when covering Staten and all of Brooklyn would have more impact to most people.nb
