00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:14,640

00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:20,640
even though it burned right next to the downtown core. The lake itself was still closed on Monday

4
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:27,200
afternoon to allow aircraft to safely scoop up water. Close to 340 fires are burning in the

00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:34,480

00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:58,640

10
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:06,880
bleeding near 232nd Street and 132 Avenue Sunday afternoon. Fire crews and paramedics were not

11
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:13,840
able to revive her when they arrived at around 230. RCMP don't think there's any remaining risk to

12
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:22,320
the public. Destination unknown. However, we do know that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will be
