Out-of-control wildfire rages in central Canada

Four neighborhoods of Fort McMurray, a city in Canada's major oil-producing region, were ordered evacuated Tuesday as an out of control wildfire drew near and the skies filled with smoke.

Shifting winds gusting to 40 kilometers per hour fanned the flames, and scorching 9,600 hectares of surrounding forests as it advanced to within 13 kilometers of the city. Authorities have been bracing for another possibly devastating wildfire season, after Canada's worst ever last year that saw flames burning from coast to coast and charring more than 37 million acres of land.
