There's a fast-moving wildfire burning in the foothills NW of Sundre, Alberta.
Its growth has been driven by high winds.
Winds should lessen this evening. It'll be cooler and less windy tomorrow, with rain and snow possible the next day. This will help slow spread.
There was a lot of lightning in this area last night, so while not officially confirmed, it may have triggered this wildfire. #abfire
