The most important province in oil and gas production in Canada has had to partially paralyze its operations due to the emergency due to a hundred forest fires. The unexpected wave of fire has displaced 30,000 residents, with no reported loss of life.
Alberta produces 185,000 barrels of oil a day, 2% of Canada's total. The impact on production is expected to be temporary and not affect fuel prices.
Authorities hope the rains and low temperatures forecast for this week will help control the situation. About 80 firefighters have been deployed from Quebec and Ontario to support emergency efforts.
