Harrowing dashboard camera footage captures escape from supercharged Alberta.

Harrowing dashboard camera footage captures escape from supercharged Alberta wildfires the size of New York City that have ravaged Canadian towns, caused 88,000 to evacuate and are being battled by over 1,100 firefighters. Incredible dash cam footage has captured a man's terrifying drive through the supercharged wildfires tearing through Alberta, Canada, which have forced 88,000 people to evacuate their homes. More than 1,110 firefighters, 145 helicopters, 138 pieces of heavy equipment and 22 air tankers were fighting a total of 49 wildfires that now cover land the size of New York City. Seven of the blazes are deemed out of control. On Wednesday, one resident in the devastated oil sands city of Fort McMurray filmed the moment he had to drive across town through flying embers and black-out smoke. Cars can be seen veering from lane-to-lane to avoid the flames as gusts of wind threaten to push burning trees over. Though it was filmed at 2pm, the sky is as dark as night. Officials said conditions remained extreme across the region and that strong winds were helping spread the fire, which appears to be moving south. The communities of Anzac, Gregoire Lake Estates and Fort McMurray First Nation, an aboriginal reservation, were evacuated overnight after the wildfires moved south. The fire has already forced the evacuation of more than 80,000 people and torched 1,600 homes and other buildings in Fort McMurray. There have been no injuries or death from the fires. The province of Alberta declared a state of emergency. An Alberta resident currently based in New York told Daily Mail Online: 'My dad is in Edmonton, Alberta, right now working for Imperial Oil. 'They can smell the smoke from the fire there - which distance-wise is like being able to smell a New York City fire in Washington DC, more than 250 miles away.' Prime Minister Justin Trudeau branded the situation 'terrifying' during a speech in Parliament on Thursday, calling it 'the largest fire evacuation in Alberta's history'. 'Homes have been destroyed. Neighborhoods have gone up in flames. The footage we've seen of cars racing down highways while fire races on all sides is nothing short of terrifying.' Trudeau called on all Canadians 'to support our friends and neighbors at this difficult time,' saying the federal government will match individual charitable donations to the Red Cross. Unseasonably hot temperatures combined with dry conditions have transformed the boreal forest in much of Alberta into a tinder box. Fort McMurray is surrounded by wilderness in the heart of Canada's oil sands — the third largest reserves of oil in the world behind Saudi Arabia and Venezuela. The emergency operations center relocated southward for the second time in a day and is now in Lac La Biche, Alberta — about 175 miles (280 kilometers) south of Fort McMurray. In the early hours Thursday, weary evacuees from Fort McMurray were sitting on buses headed for the provincial capital of Edmonton after being forced out of their temporary shelter in nearby Anzac
