Alberta oil operators demobilise to protect assets, assist devastated communities

Alberta oil sands operators on Thursday further scaled back operations to only critical staff levels as gigantic walls of fire engulfed and devoured entire neighbourhoods in the regional hub of oil sands operations Fort McMurray.
The Alberta government stated that public safety remained the key priority as the wildfire in Fort McMurray continued to burn. Provincial fire crews continued their efforts to reduce the threat to property and infrastructure.
