Canada wildfire forces mass evacuation in Fort McMurray
A huge wildfire has forced the evacuation of about 60,000 people from Fort McMurray - the entire population of the Canadian city.

The blaze has destroyed a number of homes, dropping ash on the streets of the city in the province of Alberta.

Fleeing residents have caused gridlock on the main road leading from the city, 380km (235 miles) north of Edmonton.

The evacuation from Fort McMurray - which lies in an oil sands region - is the biggest in Alberta's history.

"If you just walk outside, you feel it (ash) falling on you. You see it floating in the air. I can take a broom and brush it off my deck," resident Mark Durocher was quoted as saying by the Globe and Mail.

Homes in at least two neighbourhoods have been gutted, and the fire has now spread to Highway 63 - the main road into Fort McMurray from the south.

Firefighters are continuing to tackle the blaze, but the local authorities have called for reinforcements, including a water-dumping helicopter.

So far there have been no reports of any injuries.

what do you mean by tar sands?

Tar Sands Basics

So Saudi Arabian oil is what they call "sweet crude", because it is relatively easy to extract.....just drill and pump it out essentialy...on the other end of the spectrum they have tar/oil sands which is a shiit load more difficult, expensive, and environmentally toxic because you are literally mining the surface of the earth. The substance is called bitumen, which is a rock...and you have to break the rock apart, use millions of gallons of fresh water. Bitumen has a lot more toxic substances in it than "sweet crude". Its so toxic and heavy that unlike regular oil that floats on water, it sinks to the bottom of any body of water. This is exactly what happened a few years ago when a pipeline burst in Kalamazoo, Michigan into the Kalamazoo River, that was carrying bitumen derived oil/tar sands. Its going take a long time to clean it up, cause you can't scrape it off the surface.
