On
Friday afternoon, around 4:00 pm, we had just turned west off the
McKinnon road, onto 22X, when we noticed a significant amount of smoke
to the west.
We recognized the smoke as a grass fire, and it
looked like it was on the eastern outskirts of Calgary. However, the
closer we got, the more we realized it was in the city.

dramatic photo of two helicopters with water buckets, scooping from the
Bow River, is courtesy Dan Jackson, a Calgary fly fisher.
