ALBERTA wildfire: Emergency declared in Fort McMurray

A state of emergency has been declared in the province of Alberta in Canada after a wildfire forced all 88,000 residents of Fort McMurray to flee. Officials say the fast-moving blaze could destroy much of the city.
The fire, which broke out on Sunday in the heart on the country's oil sands region, has gutted 1,600 buildings, including a new school.
The evacuation was the largest-ever in Alberta. Oil companies operating in the area have been forced to cut output.
