Strong winds fanning wildfire in Alberta

- The wildfire in the Canadian province of Alberta seizes increasingly around. Fueled by strong, dry winds, the flames already engulfed 156,000 hectares where the counter Friday was still on over 100.000 hectares.

More than five hundred firefighters make every effort to contain the fire. They might have fifteen fourteen helicopters and firefighting aircraft, told the provincial government.

Some residents of the enclosed by the flames Fort McMurray who had sought north of the city had to return Saturday their steps refuge. Because their retreat was also threatened by the fire, police guided them through burned-quarters of the abandoned city to a safe area south of Fort McMurray. Also an Indian community is advised to evacuate.

,, It is a dangerous, unpredictable fire, a truly evil fire that feeds on the extremely dry coniferous forest, '' said Minister of Public Safety Ralph Goodale.
