Rain and cooler weather were expected to bring some relief on Monday to Canada's main oil-producing province of Alberta, where more than 100 wildfires have forced nearly 30,000 people from their homes, officials said.
Canada is home to the world's third-largest reserves, and most of these are in northern Alberta's vast oil sands."People have called this season certainly unprecedented in recent memory because we have so many fires so spread out," Christie Tucker from Alberta Wildfire said on Sunday.
said on Monday it had temporarily shut in about 30,000 boepd and its assessment to date indicated "minimal damage" to its key infrastructure.A mix of cooler temperatures and rain is forecast, which authorities hope will help contain the situation. More fire fighters are expected from neighboring provinces.A 2016 wildfire in the Alberta city of Fort McMurray devastated some 1,600 buildings and put another 19,000 under threat of collapse, making it one of Canada's worst.
