Fort McMurray mayor declares ‘localized state of emergency’ for neighbourhood threatened by wildfire
An out of control fire is burning only a few kilometres away from Fort McMurray.
The Regional Fire Chief of Wood Buffalo, Darby Allen, is warning that the fire may hit the urban area overnight.
“One of the problems right now is the wind direction is changing quite erratically. So the wind direction might change and it might go in a different way,” Allen said.
