They're on the run. Roughly 8,000 oilsands workers have been ordered to leave camps north of Fort McMurray, Alberta, in the face of fires spreading up to 130 feet a minute. At least 19 camps between the evacuated city and Fort MacKay have been forced out - the new departures coinciding with Canada's efforts to boost production after wildfires ground business to a halt two weeks ago. The oil facilities are reportedly not at risk, and yesterday's strong winds were expected to yield to more favorable conditions today.
