1. Because the mail still carries some important stuff (bills, etc) and while it looks silly to do that with the houses burned, its an obligation. The other way to do this would be to hold it all at the local post office but imagine hundreds or thousands of people coming there to get mail.

2. And most mail boxes are fireproof because they are made of masonry or metal. It’s really not that confusing if you bother thinking about it.

3. Just surreal.. it’s right there in their creed. “Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds”. Pretty much means come hell or high water.

6. San Francisco District Manager Noemi Luna has provided the following statement to clarify why the mail carrier delivered the route:

   “This is an example of the long standing relationship that has been established between our carriers and their customers based on trust. The carrier in question was honoring a request by a few customers who were being let back in the fire zone to retrieve personal items. A few customers asked the carrier to leave their mail if the mailbox was still standing because they could not get to the annex to retrieve it.”

8. It’s one of the important steps of restoring order. The U.S. Postal Service has a job to do, and it’s doing it. They deliver the mail where they still can. If the mailbox is there, that’s where the mail goes. For the home owners still in the area, they then know where they can get their mail. It’s a starting point towards normalcy.

9. Dances With Wolves, I believe. A Costner film, and he also did one called the Postman. Makes sense to me.

10. What did Canada Post do to maintain postal service in Fort McMurray / Wood Buffalo, Alberta last year?
