Alberta Fire Threat Stabilizes as Rain Slows Some Blazes' Growth
Alberta's wildfire threat stabilized as rain slowed the growth of some blazes that have forced evacuations and shut about 7% of Canada's daily oil production.
About 462,000 barrels of crude daily output in Alberta was within 10 kilometers of wildfires that are 10 hectares or larger early Tuesday, down from about 470,000 barrels at risk Monday, provincial data show. A total of 28 wildfires were burning out of control Tuesday in Alberta, the source of most of Canada's oil production.
