An out-of-control wildfire north of Canmore, Alta., has grown from 10 hectares to 120 hectares since it was discovered on Friday. The wildfire is burning on the west end of TransAlta Road (or Township Road 270). Fortunately, today we saw most of the growth was on the north end of the fire, so kind of moving up the slope. Firefighters, helicopters and airtankers are fighting an out of control wildfire north of Banff National Park near Black Rock Mountain. Alberta Wildfire rated the fire danger in the southern Rockies as high to extreme on Saturday morning, and low to moderate elsewhere in the province.
