Fort McMurray Fire:
'It's Apocalyptic.
No Way Out But North'
The entire city of Fort McMurray, the heart of the oil sands industry in the northern part of the province, was facing an evacuation order Tuesday night as a raging wildfire forced tens of thousands of people from their homes.
"It's apocalyptic," said John O'Connor, a family physician who has treated patients with health problems in the region related to oil sands pollution.
He said there was no way out but north.
"The place looks like it's all going," O'Connor said.
Anyone breathing the ash-filled air would be facing serious health risks, he added.
