Ruined Neighborhoods Burned by the Alberta Wildfire (25 photos)

After a week of wildfires raging through the town of Fort McMurray and the surrounding area, more than 500,000 acres of forest and 2,400 buildings have been destroyed in Alberta, Canada. Rachel Notley, Alberta’s premier, said that 90% of Fort McMurray remains intact, though several neighborhoods were complete losses. Reporters were recently allowed in for a look what the wildfire claimed, and what survived. While the last fires in town are put out, and infrastructure repaired, more than 80,000 residents will have to wait at least another two weeks before they can return.
