Wildfire empties Fort McMurray City in Canada's Alberta
Alberta - MENA
The entire community of Fort McMurray, the heart of Alberta’s oil sands region in Canada, was ordered to evacuate as a fast-spreading wildfire advanced on the city and cut off its only highway link to the south, the Week Magazine reported Wednesday.
The fire destroyed a number of homes in one neighborhood and some trailers in a trailer park, said Robin Smith, a spokesman for the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo, which includes Fort McMurray.
According to television news reports, commercial buildings downtown were also ablaze.
