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 warn that the fast moving blaze could destroy much of the city and the next 24 hours will be crucial.
The fire, which broke out on Sunday, has gutted 1,600 structures in the city, including a new school. Nearby oil companies have been forced to cut output. So far there have been no reports of deaths or injuries in the wildfire.
