Thousands were ordered to flee, but some locals who refused to leave have taken the fight into their own hands, accusing the province of failing to provide enough resources and effectively abandoning them to protect their homes.

Reid Foreman is one of them. He admits he knowingly disobeyed evacuation orders and tells CTV News he would do it again.

    Man, I don’t envy the people in charge that have to put up with this nonsense.

    Okay Mr.Mullet, you think you guys can do this, it’s all yours. Take the trained forces somewhere that wants help. Except I know when the town burns down all we’ll hear is “They abandoned us!”. I understand that no one wants to feel helpless, but you should know that sometimes you have to step aside and let someone who’s job it is, do their job.
