The Alberta government has declared a provincial state of emergency as out-of-control wildfires force more residents from their homes.
Premier Danielle Smith made the announcement at a media briefing Saturday afternoon.
Earlier in the day, at another media briefing about wildfire conditions, Smith suggested the province was considering a state of emergency.
