80,000 people evacuated from Canadian city as wildfire rages on

The entire population of Fort McMurray, Canada, has been ordered to evacuate as a wildfire whipped by winds engulfed homes and sent ash raining down on people.

More than 80,000 residents of the Alberta oil sands city were ordered to flee after an earlier order that had applied to nearly 30,000 people, mostly on the south side, was extended to tens of thousands more as flames continued to make their way into the city.
