Wildfire burns out of control near Suncor's Firebag oilsands site
BNN Bloomberg
A wildfire burning out of control in northern Alberta on Thursday prompted Suncor Energy Inc. to withdraw all non-essential workers from its Firebag oilsands site.
The company, Canada's second-largest oilsands producer by volume, confirmed Thursday that it was "moving to essential personnel only at site."
A Suncor spokeswoman said the move was a precautionary measure, but added the situation was being monitored and further action would be taken if necessary.
Suncor said its other oilsands operations were not at risk.
