Natural. Alberta has seasonal wildfires, but they're having more than usual this year. High temps and lack of precipitation made this one accelerate.

may have been mentioned but isn't this that make-shift Oil Sands city in Canada that blew the hell up in no time at all? Everyone was flocking to there 4-5 years ago to cake up? Grand opening / grand closing?
