Fort McMurray Fire: This Is What The City Looks Like Now

The blaze has left devastation in its wake.

As wildfires continue to burn in several parts of Alberta, photos are coming in showing the scale of devastation a massive blaze left in Fort McMurray.

The fire — which now covers over 1,000-square kilometres — has forced over 80,000 residents from their homes.

New images of what the neighbourhoods look like now after the wildfire swept through are simply haunting.

Officials say the fire remains out of control, and is likely to continue burning for weeks.

Strong winds and dry conditions have made it a particularly difficult fire to fight.

More than 1,200 firefighters, 110 helicopters, 295 pieces of heavy equipment and 27 air tankers are battling wildfires, the province announced on Friday.

Alberta Premier Rachel Notley announced the government will provide cash to help evacuees with immediate needs.

Notley said officials cannot speculate on when it might be safe for residents to return to Fort McMurray except that "it will not be a matter of days.''
