Massive Alberta wildfire expected to burn for months
None
LAC LA BICHE- The images are ones of devastation - scorched homes, virtually whole neighborhoods burned to the ground. And Canadian officials say they expect to fight the massive wildfire that has destroyed large parts of Alberta's oil sands town for months.
There's fear the growing wildfire could double in size and reach a major oil sands mine and even the neighboring province of Saskatchewan.
The Alberta government said the massive blaze in the province will cover more than half a million acres by Sunday and continue to grow because of high temperatures, dry conditions and high winds. Chad Morrison of Alberta Wildfire said it's not uncommon to fight such an inferno in forested areas for months.
