— -- The devastating wildfires sweeping across the Fort McMurray area of Alberta, Canada, have been captured on video.

The video, from Can-West Corporate Air Charters Ltd., shows a building filled with smoke from the wildfires. The smoke increases and surrounds the building, as a burst of orange suddenly covers the entire shot. Flames begin to appear on the side of the road near the building.

The smoke continues to surround the building throughout the rest of the video, with bursts of orange sporadically throughout.

More than than 80,000 people have been forced to evacuate their homes and the fire has spread to 200,000 acres -- or 10 times the size of Manhattan. No deaths or injuries have been reported, authorities said.

The Alberta provincial government has declared a state of emergency. The cause of the fire is under investigation.
