text: The chief and others are just plain stupid keeping children in this evacuation area. If they want to endanger their own lives, that's one thing, but their children? - how dumb. How proud will they be if there are children killed in the fire?
  
  The RCMP are right to insist that the children leave. It has nothing to do with residential schools etc, just common sense. The rain showers we had this a.m. are just that and won't have a significant impact on a large fire. This is just the start of the fire season and these fires will be a threat for a long time.
