0llie, thank you so much forjoining us, especially under these circumstances. Now, i understand youve been able to flee these fires. Just bring us up to date in terms of what took place, what happened and how youre coping where are you now . Yeah, so i am now in a small village called fort simpson, which is about 630 kilometres west of yellowknife. It probably sounds like a huge distance it really isnt in Northwest Territories terms.
