Wildfire in Alberta's West Country Rages On, Campers Evacuated from Backcountry The vast expanse of Alberta's foothills has become a theatre for disaster as flames continue to rage through the west country.
The wildfire in Clearwater County, detected just two days ago, has already claimed over 10 square kilometers of land and prompted evacuation orders for a significant portion of the wilderness area.
Campers and backcountry users are among those forced to flee at the first sign of fire, leaving behind their plans and livelihoods.
