Keep drilling boys.

Ignore the flames, it’s all a Liberal plot.

Not even being a doomer here, but it really is just… interesting to see all these climate predictions play out right on schedule. Almost like all those scientists might be on to something.

Didn’t look too big this evening, but was very close to the highway. Stay safe everyone.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Alberta residents in the Fort McMurray area are being told to be ready to leave their homes due to the threat of an out-of-control wildfire in the region.

The Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo issued an evacuation alert at 6:38 p.m. MT for Fort McMurray and Saprae Creek Estates as the MWF-017 wildfire burns nearby.

The alert states the fire is southwest of Fort McMurray, and smoke could affect visibility on Highway 63 south of the northern Alberta community that was devastated by wildfire in 2016.

Residents are advised to keep essential items like medications, important documents and emergency kits ready for a quick departure.

It’s located on the south side of the Athabasca River valley and is moving east, driven by strong winds.

Residents in Saprae Creek were put on evacuation alert late last month for a separate wildfire.
