A highway camera photo shows traffic in FortMcMurray jammed in the southbound lane of Highway 63 on the north side of the Athabasca River. The image was captured at 3:11 p.m. MT, about an hour after an evacuation order was issued for four neighbourhoods. (511 Alberta)

I live in Florida and what you're suggesting happens all of the time during impending major hurricanes. Seems like a lost opportunity in the photo. Wonder why they didn't do that too.

Because having life-threatening wildfires wasn’t a regular occurrence in Canada until recently.

So maybe they'll learn since it seems this won't be going away soon.
