Description
May 15, 2023
In 2016, a fire so big it was dubbed "The Beast" consumed Fort McMurray — now, a beast of a different kind is taxing resources across Alberta. More than 80 wildfires are raging, affecting dozens of communities to the north, west and south of Edmonton. As Morgan Black explains, it's a challenging situation for both emergency officials and those affected.
