This is a terrible tragedy. My thoughts go out to them.
The fire that burned parts of Fort McMurray in Alberta, Canada was large and mostly out of control (as parts of it remain today) as it moved.
Amazingly only 2 people died as a result of the wildfires (killed in a car crash when evacuating)
although almost 90,000 people were evacuated from the area and over 2,400 homes/buildings were destroyed.
In just a week, since the fire started, more than 200,000 hectares of land has burned and the fire is currently about 30km from the Saskatchewan border.
The OP has a link to read more about the fire (up top, first post).
I have several dozen photos but am going to post them in the Interesting Images section rather than clog up this news thread. The Link to these photos is: Fort McMurray Fire 2016.
