OTTAWA (Reuters) - Wildfires raging through the northern part of Canada's Alberta have forced evacuations of three communities, a provincial body said on Saturday, as the oil-rich province continues to fight five different 'wildfires of note' in separate areas.
A wildfire of note is often considered to be of significant threat to public safety, communities and critical infrastructure.
