 Burnt-out vehicles sit in a completely destroyed neighborhood of Slave Lake, Alberta, Canada on May 16, 2011. Wildfires whipped by high winds destroyed more than a third of a 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 wildfires that rolled through the area late last night and early this morning. [Photo/Agencies]
