epa05293138 A handout satelite image made avaliable on 07 May 2016 by NASA Earth Observatory showing Fort McMurray on 04 May 2016, acquired by the Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM+) on the Landsat 7 satellite. This false-color image combines shortwave infrared, near infrared, and green light (bands 5-4-2). Near- and short-wave infrared help penetrate clouds and smoke to reveal the hot spots associated with active fires, which appear red. Smoke appears white and burned areas appear brown. On this day the fire spanned about 100 square kilometers (40 square miles); by the morning of 05 May, it spanned about 850 square kilometers (330 square miles). Reports on 07 May 2016 state that the wildfire which has destroyed Fort McMurray could double in size over the next 24 hours as the fire is being fanned by winds and feeding on dry vegetation.

In-nirien kbar li hemm jaqbdu fil-provinċja ta’ Alberta issa qed jheddu li jinfirxu lejn il-provinċja ta’ Saskatchewan.
Dan hekk kif riħ qawwi sħun mhu qed jgħin xejn biex tiġi kontrollata s-sitwazzjoni u uffiċjali qed ibassru li n-nar se jkompli jaqbad għal diversi xhur.
Is-sitwazzjoni f’Alberta qed titqies bħala l-agħar diżastru naturali fl-istorja reċenti tal-Kanada u diġà wasslet għall-evakwazzjoni ta’ aktar minn 80,000 persuna minn Fort McMurray wara li n-nirien bdew jeqirdu partijiet mill-belt.
B’kollox hemm 2,000 kilometru kwadru effettwati minn dawn in-nirien.
Għalkemm hemm tbassir ta’ xita għal-lum it-Tnejn, uffiċjali qalu li trid tkun xita qalila u kontinwa beix tagħmel differenza.
S’issa minkejja l-kobor tan-nirien u l-qerda li hemm, ma kien hemm ebda vittmi. F’Fort McMurray hu stmat li madwar 1,600 dar inqerdu.
