Tuccaro Property Services (TPS) Confirms Building Conditions

Written by

Pictured below, initial inspection of Tuccaro facilities located at 283 MacAlpine Crescent and the Fort McMurray First Nations Reserve confirm that buildings are intact and preliminary inspections are positive.  Scott Crann:  “Our 80,000 square feet of space looks good, we suffered no direct damage from the wildfire but will need to take precautionary steps now to ensure the air quality and HVAC systems dispel stale air and deliver fresh intake. Detailed inspection, cleaning and facility approval will be coordinated in the coming week and we will release information accordingly.” We are excited to have access again!

Our Heroes Welcome us Home!

Written by

On May 3rd as 88,000 of us fled our homes we all saw the same thing…our first responders.  As we drove south down the highway out of town we were met by groups of firefighters and police from other cities racing to Fort McMurray to help.

The only reason that the majority of Fort McMurray is standing today is those people who stayed behind who fought the Beast and saved our city.

How do you thank a group of people who ran toward the fire as we fled to safety. How do you thank a group of people who said goodbye to their families as they left town to safety.  How do you thank a group of people who have worked endless hours to save our homes, many of them losing their own.

ourheroes2Today residents are returning home to the same sight…our first responders welcoming us home to our city that they worked so heroically to save.  None of them will say they are heroes, so we will say it for them.

To all of the first responders who came to help our city and to those who call Fort McMurray home…thank you.

RMWB has released a Re-entry Information Booklet

Written by

News coming out of the region is stating that more than 1,000 firefighters from across Canada, the U.S., South Africa and other countries will soon be joining the approximately 1,200-member fire crew already in Fort McMurray. Great news for us, terrible news for the Beast!

Although caution continues, conditions at this time are still allowing for the conditional, phased and voluntary return to the community beginning June 1. The RMWB has released a Re-entry Information Booklet and is available here:

This detailed booklet contains important information that should be reviewed to plan your safe return before coming back to the city and your home. The safety of all is the number one priority.

Some improvement in weather conditions and wildfire over the weekend

Written by

News we have all been eagerly awaiting to hear. Cooler, damper conditions have improved both the firefighting of the Beast as well as the air quality in the region. We continue to be under mandatory evacuation, with a conditional, phased and voluntary return to the community beginning June 1.

Our Operations leaders have continued to be in contact with their crews throughout this event, providing updates and information as they become available. They are also in contact with our clients regularly to ensure we are ready to get back to business supporting their needs and expanding our abilities in providing any new services they may require.

We are grateful for your continued support and patience during this difficult time. Our priority continues to be our employees, and we are committed to returning you as soon as possible.

Standing Shoulder to Shoulder

Written by

When someone asked me how things were and I complained about the garbage bag I forgot to take out from our kitchen on the afternoon of the evac and how bad it might smell when I got back and I looked across the room and saw one of my colleagues, head down, working hard to restore service at Tuccaro Group, I had a moment of realization. He had lost his home, all of his belongings, didn’t know where he would be living 4 months from now. Then I told myself to smarten up and carried on working hard to support Tuccaro Group. It’s people like that that I am proud to work along side and will do everything I can to support.
