The 100,000 residents of the Canadian city of Fort McMurray were ordered to leave town late Tuesday as a monster wildfire swept through the oil sands region, in Alberta province's largest ever evacuation.
While the flames may look terrible, fires like these may not be so bad.
No casualties have yet been reported but gas stations exploded and a hotel and one of the town's many motor home parks went up in flames, according to local media.
The air was thick with black smoke.
