Alberta declared a state of emergency on May 7, 2023 in response to wildfires that have displaced nearly 30,000 people and prompted energy producers to shut in at least 280,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boepd), more than 3% of Canada’s output. Cooler weather across Alberta on May 8th helped firefighters battling widespread wildfires in Canada’s main oil-producing province, but the government said it could be months before all the blazes are brought under control.

The local scenery on the ground is as follows.
