2019 wildfire season: Wildfires in Alberta Canada (May 31st)

Like some of you, I have been aware of the Chuckegg Creek Fire in northern Alberta, Canada. Bill Gabbert of Wildfire Today. On May 28, Bill wrote an article, sharing a satellite image of three large wildfires in Alberta. In his May 30th article, he wrote about the recent extreme fire behaviour of the Chuckegg Creek Fire growing to approximately 568,000 acres (230,000 hectacres)with excerpts from a May 30th update by Alberta Wildfire. Finally in today's (May 31st) article he shared a wildfire smoke map from NOAA, Office of Satellite and Product Operations.

Evacuation orders are in place in several northern Alberta communities affected by wildfires, see this article from CBC and this article from Gizmodo for more information. Thanks to Mike Archer from Wildfire News of the Day for sharing these two articles recently. On a side note, I also saw these two articles in my Apple News feed today on my smart phone.

I found a third article about wildfires currently burning in northern Alberta in my Apple News Feed. This one is from Global News (May 31st). This article reports on the effects of the wildfire smoke in Canada and portions of the northern United States, evacuation orders. According to this article, there are 29 wildfires burning in northern Alberta with at least 5,000 people under evacuation orders. I am sharing two videos here that are also included in the article.
