 A fire-fighter from the Strathcona fire department searches for spot fires in a destroyed neighborhood in Slave Lake, Alberta, Canada on May 16, 2011. Wildfires whipped by high winds destroyed more than a third of the sizable town in northern Alberta on Monday and forced oil companies in Canada's largest energy-producing province to shut off tens of thousands of barrels of output. Parts of the town were devastated by wild fires that rolled through the area late last night and early this morning. [Photo/Agencies]
