On 5 May, the authorities of Canada declared a state of emergency in the Alberta region which is quite important for its oil reserves. Wildfire became the reason of it, and the Canadians weren't able to put it out as soon as it broke out. The size of the area on fire is above 200,000 ha.

Shell, Suncor, Syncrude Canada, Husky Energy, Connacher Oil & Gas, the major oil producers which work in the Alberta region, temporary have cut the output.
More than 500 firemen are engaged in fire-fighting operations. The authorities claim that the brigades will probably have to work at least one month.
The fire is also fought with the help of technical equipment. Thus, the CH-146 ВВС helicopter and the CC-130 Hercules jet are engaged in the operations. The jet is used to transport the people and valuables into safer place.

80,000 people have been evacuated from the fire zone.
