A huge wildfire raging in the Canadian province of Alberta is growing further and could spill in to neighbouring Saskatchewan, officials say.
Hot, dry and windy conditions are hampering efforts by hundreds of firefighters to tackle the blaze.
The flames have already caused the evacuation of 80,000 people from the oil city of Fort McMurray, according to the (BBC).
Thousands are still stuck north of the city and their evacuation will now not be completed before Sunday.
"In no way is this fire under control,'' Alberta Premier Rachel Notley said.
The wildfire now covers an area of more than 200,000 hectares about (495,000 acres), which includes areas still ablaze and areas already burnt.
There is the possibility of rain on Sunday and Monday.
Earlier this week, most evacuees headed south but some fled north, sheltering in work camps beyond Fort McMurray.
Thousands have since been shuttled out by road and air, with small convoys passing through the fire-ravaged city on Saturday.
Notley had said the goal was to complete the evacuations by the end of Saturday, but there are still people in the camps north of the city and the operation to evacuation them will now continue on Sunday.
